Blueberry White Chocolate Croissant Pudding
1 pound large croissants, about 6
3 eggs
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups full fat milk
2 cups sugar
2 cups fresh blueberries, can opt for frozen * See Cook’s Notes
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 tablespoon vanilla
Baking Instructions Following Cook’s Notes
Cook’s Notes
Frozen berries will sink to the bottom because they are heavy from excess moisture inside of them. As the baked good cooks, the heavy berries slowly fall to the bottom of the pan rather than staying evenly distributed throughout.
Though this is not a problem with bread or croissant pudding, the problem will be the berries bursting and the moisture being released.
This will add extra moisture to the custard and not allow the pudding to bake completely in the required time which is typically 50-60 minutes. The addition of moisture would require more time to bake.
You will need to mix the frozen berries with 1-2 teaspoons of all-purpose flour, cornstarch or arrowroot starch (your choice). Doing so will prevent them from sinking and the flour will absorb the juice that will burst out into the batter or in this case the custard.
Preheat oven 350 degrees
First cut croissants into bite sized cubs (about 1/2 inch square)
In a large mixing bowl; combine eggs, cream, sugar and vanilla.
Add croissant pieces and mix in until well incorporated. Making sure all the cut pieces are dredged with the wet custard.
Let stand for 15 minutes to allow the croissant pieces to sock up custard.
Add the blueberries and stir until well combined. Next add white chocolate chips and do the same.
Make sure that croissant pieces, berries and chips are evenly dispersed throughout the custard.
Transfer mixture to a greased 13×9 inch baking dish.
Bake covered for 40 minutes. Remove cover and continue baking an additional 15-20 minutes or until custard is set.
Insert a knife near the center. If it comes out clean, remove pudding from oven.
Let stand for 30 minutes before serving. Is delicious warm or cold. Save leftovers, if any, in the refrigerator covered for up to 7 days.
