3.    Add cut-up croissants and chocolate into dish/ramekins.

 

4.    Mix cream, sugar, eggs and vanilla and pour over croissants.

 

5.    Let stand  for 30 minutes Ð keep pushing croissants down into liquid with a spatula to aid in absorption.

Notes:

 

á      Substituting chocolate croissants and reducing the chocolate makes it even easier.

á      WeÕve used brioche and that works well also.

á      Left-overs microwave nicely the next day.
