Just two small croissants make enough decadent bread pudding for two people, with no leftovers!
| Level: | Easy |
| Total: | 1 hr 5 min |
| Active: | 30 min |
| Yield: | 2 servings |
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more butter for greasing the cups
- 2 croissants (about 2 ounces each), torn into 1-inch pieces
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons plus 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 3/4 cup half-and-half
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 4 soft caramel candies, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter 2 ovenproof 6-ounce tea or coffee cups. Tear a loosely packed 1/2 cup of the croissant pieces into slightly smaller pieces, and toss them with the melted butter in a small bowl; set aside.
- Whisk the egg with 2 tablespoons of the sugar in a medium bowl until the sugar is dissolved. Whisk in the half-and-half and vanilla. Stir in the remaining 1-inch croissant pieces and the caramels, and let the mixture sit, folding occasionally, for about 15 minutes. Don’t worry if the mixture seems too wet; the excess moisture will be absorbed as the pudding bakes.
- Divide the soaked bread mixture between the prepared cups. Top each with half the buttered croissant pieces, and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of the remaining sugar. Bake until the bread pudding puffs above the rim of the cups and is set, about 30 minutes. Let cool a few minutes (the pudding will sink), and serve warm.

Perfect weeknight dessert for two!
Will make this again. And again. And many more times…
Amazing! Made exactly as directed.
Delicious! I’ll have to double the recipe next time. My husband came back f or 2nds and there weren’t any!
Quick and easy and oh so good
I make this often, so good and SO easy. I don’t usually have caramel candies on hand so I just used some caramel sauce that we usually have for ice cream, put a little on the mixture before you place the buttered croissant topping on. I even did a little hot fudge and banana pieces last time (instead of caramel), easy and delicious!
I hate it when people put comments on a review section. Don’t comment unless you MADE the recipe. Grrrr. I made the bread pudding and we thought it was very good and very sweet. The directions made me scratch my head. Read as if you didn’t put most of the bread in the cream base but just put them on top. I’ll make it again but cut the sugar.
Looks delicious.
It’s great to find recipes for two!!! Thanks!!!
