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!

Helen @ family-friends-food.com
This has to be in the running for most indulgent pudding ever! It looks amazing. There’s never likely to be ‘spare’ croissants round here though, so I might have to get some specially 🙂
Camilla
Thanks Helen, we just happened to have them as I’d bought a bargain pack of 8 which I’d thawed:-)

What a great way of jazzing up the humble bread and butter pudding. I’ve made it with panetone before but never croissants. Love this! 🙂
