ingredients

2 stale croissants
¹⁄₂ cup sugar
2 tablespoons water
¹⁄₂ cup heavy cream
¹⁄₂ cup whole milk
2 tablespoons Bourbon
2 eggs, beaten

directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Tear croissants into pieces and put in a small gratin dish.
Put sugar and water into a saucepan, and swirl around to help dissolve the sugar before putting the saucepan on the burner over medium to high heat.
Caramelize the sugar and water mixture by letting it bubble away until it all turns a deep amber color. This will take 3-5 minutes.
Turn heat down to low and add heavy cream. Whisk in whole milk and bourbon. Take off the heat and, still whisking, add eggs.
Pour the caramel bourbon custard over the croissants and leave to steep for 10 minutes if the croissants are very stale.
Place in oven for 20 minutes….
Serves 2 greedy people!

I came across this recipe in a recent People magazine. I can't believe I had missed out on this before! I needed a dessert for just the two of us for Thanksgiving and we loved the texture/taste. I just used store-bought croissants and added a touch of cinnamon. So glad to see it posted here so I don't lose the page I tore out of our magazine. Happy Holidays!

Amazingly good - and simple! Every time I serve this to guests (often) it gets oooh's and aaah's!

Fantastic, great flavor, light like creme brulee! So easy and quick to whip up. I cooked it about 15 minutes longer than stated. Don't omit the bourbon whiskey. I think that's what makes it! Had it hot out of the oven with some vanilla ice cream. Thought I'd died and went to heaven!!!
