Coconut Crunch Croissant Bread Pudding Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, egg yolks, half-and-half, sugar, and vanilla. Set the custard mixture aside. Slice the croissants in half horizontally. In a 10 by 15 by 2 1/2-inch oval baking dish, distribute the bottoms of the sliced croissants, then add the raisins, then the tops of the croissants (brown side up), being sure the raisins are between the layers of croissants or they will burn while baking. Pour the custard over the croissants and allow to soak for 10 minutes, pressing down gently.
• Place the pan in a larger one filled with 1-inch of hot water. Cover the larger pan with aluminum foil, tenting the foil so it doesn't touch the pudding. Cut a few holes in the foil to allow steam to escape. Bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake for 40 to 45 more minutes or until the pudding puffs up and the custard is set. Remove from the oven and cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
• Cut croissant into 1-inch cubes and spread along the bottom of a greased 9 inch square baking pan.
• Mix eggs, light cream, coconut milk, sugar and water until well combined.
• Pour custard mixture over bread cubes. Let sit for 15 minutes to 24 hours.
• Top with shredded coconut and macadamia nuts. Bake for 60 to 75 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

• Toast pecans in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Place torn croissants into the prepared baking pan. Pour milk over bread and let soak for 10 minutes.
• Beat eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a medium bowl using an electric mixer. Pour over bread mixture, blending well, using your hands if needed. Add toasted pecans, chocolate chips, and toffee bits. Mix well.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the center is cooked through and top is golden brown, about 1 hour.
• While bread pudding is baking, bring sugar, half-and-half, and butter to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat and let custard simmer for 5 minutes.
• Remove custard from heat and let cool slightly. Pour in vanilla extract and stir well.

Cover with top halves of croissants, cut-side down. Pour egg mixture over top. Top with baking sheet weighted down with cans so croissants get pressed down and submerged in liquid. Let stand 30 minutes.
• Heat oven to 350. Remove baking sheet used as weight.
• Cover pudding loosely with foil. Place pudding in a larger pan on oven rack. Pour hot water into larger pan to reach depth of 1 inch.
• Bake at 350 for 1 hour. Remove foil: bake an additional 30 minutes or until temperature registers 160F on an instant-read thermometer. Carefully remove dish to wire rack; cool slightly. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.

Steps:

• 1. Before I give the "regular" directions, let me add: I get the HUGE croissants at Sam's Club Bakery and use as many as needed to fill an 11 x 17 inch baking dish. I also use the Hershey's Special Dark chocolate bars, chopped, instead of chocolate chips. And, I have been known to put a little extra coconut in. This is very rich and decadent. I have never felt the need to dust it with confectioners sugar! I hope you enjoy!
• 2. Whisk together egg yolks, whole eggs, milk, coconut milk, sugar, coconut extract, vanilla and salt.
• 3. Coat a 2 1/2 qt baking dish with cooking spray. Cut croissants in half horizontally. Place bottom halves, cut-side up, in prepared dish. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and coconut. Cover with top halves of croissants, cut-side down. Pour egg mixture over top. (Before next step, I place waxed paper or plastic wrap over the croissants.) Top with baking sheet weighed down with cans so croissants get pressed into and submerged in liquid. Let stand for 30 minutes.
• 4. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Remove baking sheet used as weight (and waxed paper/plastic wrap if used). Cover pudding loosely with foil. Place pudding pan in a larger pan on oven rack. Pour hot water into larger pan to fill to a depth of 1 inch.
• 5. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Remove foil' bake an additional 30 minutes or until temperature registers 160 degrees on an instant-read thermometer. Carefully remove dish to wire rack; cool slightly. Dust with confectioners sugar before serving, if desired.

• Bake on a cookie sheet in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Sprinkle top with remaining 1/2 cup flaked coconut. Continue baking for 25 to 30 minutes, or until center springs back when lightly tapped.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients; press lightly into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown, stirring every 10 minutes to form coarse crumbs. Cool. , Divide crumb mixture in half; press half into the same baking pan. In a large bowl, whisk the milk, extract and pudding mixes for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set. , Fold in whipped topping; spoon over the crust. Top with remaining crumb mixture. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Garnish with fresh strawberries if desired.
