Ingredients

4 large croissants, about 250 g (9 oz) total weight 

50 g (1¾ oz/½ cup) flaked almonds

40 g (1½ oz/⁄ cup) pine nuts

35 g (1⁄ oz/⁄ cup) pistachio nuts

10–12 dried pitted dates, chopped 

20 g (¾ oz/⁄ cup) shredded coconut

500 ml (17 fl oz/2 cups) full-cream (whole) milk

2 eggs

1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract

110 g (3¾ oz/½ cup) sugar

125 ml (4 fl oz/½ cup) whipping cream

2 tablespoons icing (confectioners’) sugar

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 3 litre (105 fl oz/12 cup capacity) baking dish with butter. Tear the croissants into large bite-sized pieces and put half of the croissant pieces into the dish. 

  2. Combine the almonds, pine nuts, pistachios, dates and coconut in a bowl. Combine the milk, eggs and vanilla in another bowl. 

  3. Sprinkle half the nut mixture over the croissants, sprinkle half the sugar over the top, then pour over half the milk mixture. Repeat, adding another layer of croissants, the remaining nut mixture and sugar. Pour the remaining milk mixture over the top. 

  4. Beat the cream until thickened, taking care not to overbeat the cream or it will be grainy. Spoon the cream over the pudding, then gently spread to evenly cover the top. Sift over the icing sugar. Transfer to the oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, until golden. Serve hot. 

    Next time: Use chocolate croissants or 4 large slices of brioche instead of the plain croissants.
