Ingredients
Scale
For the Bake:
- 6 large day-old croissants
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk (or almond milk for dairy-free)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- 1. Preheat Your Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- 2. Prepare the Croissants
- Slice the day-old croissants into bite-sized pieces and layer them evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- 3. Make the Custard
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- 4. Add Chocolate Chips
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the croissant pieces in the baking dish. Pour the custard mixture over everything, ensuring all pieces are coated.
- 5. Let It Soak
- Allow the mixture to soak for about 10 minutes so that the croissants absorb some of the custard.
- 6. Bake It Up
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until puffed and golden brown on top. Let cool slightly before serving.
