Over the years, I have developed a deep love for baking, and one of my absolute favorite creations is this Triple Chocolate Croissant Bake. This delightful dish combines the flakiness of croissants with rich layers of chocolate, making it a perfect breakfast or dessert option for any occasion. If you’re ready to impress your family or friends, follow my easy steps to create this scrumptious treat!
Before we begin, gather the following ingredients:
- 6 large croissants
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Powdered sugar (for serving)
Now that you have gathered all your ingredients, let’s start with the preparation:
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is important, as a properly preheated oven will ensure that your croissant bake cooks evenly and becomes wonderfully crispy on top.
Step 2: Take your croissants and cut them in half lengthwise. If you like, you can even use a serrated bread knife to get a clean cut. This will create little pockets for that luscious chocolate to rest in.
Step 3: Next, I layer the croissants cut-side up in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. You can arrange them in a way that allows every piece to bask in chocolatey goodness. Once that’s done, sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and milk chocolate chips over the croissants, distributing evenly.
Step 4: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Make sure everything is well combined. The combination will create a rich custard that will soak into your croissants.
Step 5: Pour this delicious mixture evenly over the croissants and chocolate chips, allowing them to soak up all that goodness. I usually press down gently on the croissants to make sure they are submerged.
Step 6: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake it in your preheated oven for about 25 minutes. After this time, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the top is golden brown and your kitchen smells heavenly.
Step 7: Once baked, let the Triple Chocolate Croissant Bake cool for a bit before serving. When you’re ready, dust it with some powdered sugar for that finishing touch.
This decadent dish is sure to please anyone who enjoys rich chocolate flavors! I hope you enjoy making this Triple Chocolate Croissant Bake just as much as I do!
