Simple and I could use what I had on hand. I did not have rum so used a few drops of almond extract and water. I did not have cream so used milk and added some butter. I believe the croissants absorbed all of the custard. I really wanted some extra I was in the mood for custard. maybe next time I will use more and a bigger baking dish. It is weird that this recipe was submitted 3 years ago and I am the first reviewer
