Golden Syrup & Clotted Cream Croissant Pudding is croissants baked in golden syrup and clotted cream custard. Simply heavenly comfort food!
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.
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!

Making bread and butter pudding with croissants is so creative Camilla. I think I might make something like this for an Easter treat. I know that is a long way away, but I am planning my indulgences in advance haha
