Golden Syrup & Clotted Cream Croissant Pudding - Fab Food 4 All

So it’s January and the trend is that everyone tries to eat healthier after the indulgence of Christmas!

Well, I’ve never been very good at trends and with this cold snap we’re having at the moment I think a comforting pud is just what’s needed right now!

With all my bargain shopping I sometimes have to make room in my freezer by taking out something bulky to make room.

Golden Syrup & Clotted Cream Croissant Pudding - Fab Food 4 All

Recently I took out a bag of 8 croissants and after eating the first 4 with jam we were left with another 4.

I’d always wanted to make a bread and butter pudding type of dessert with croissants so after a rummage in my cupboards and fridge I came up with this Golden Syrup & Clotted Cream Croissant Pudding!

My family were head over heels with praise for my pudding and I have to say it was pure pleasure especially served with an extra spoonful of clotted cream!

    Love this! I often see stale croissants heavily reduced at my local Tesco at the end of the day, this would be a great thing to do with them. Do you think it would freeze well?

      Well the lovely Christina Conte of Christina’s Cucina shared this post on her facebook page (US based) and there were Americans on there saying where they could get hold of it. But if you can’t get any you could just use any heavy cream, plus I understand semi-skimmed milk is not a term in the states, but any milk will do either 1 – 2 % fat or wholemilk even:-)
