Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large croissants, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

- Step 2: Place the bite-sized croissant pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the chocolate chips over them.
- Step 3: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, granulated sugar, and vanilla powder until well combined.
- Step 4: Pour the egg mixture over the croissant and chocolate chip layers, ensuring that all pieces are soaked evenly.

- Step 6: Allow to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar if desired, then serve warm.
Notes
- For optimal freshness, store any leftover chocolate croissant bake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, warm individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until heated through to maintain that deliciously gooey chocolate texture. Consider serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent treat that enhances the flavors. For an extra touch of richness, try using dark chocolate chips or adding a pinch of sea salt on top before baking to elevate the taste experience.
