Equipment
- 9 X 13-inch baking dish
Ingredients
- 10 cups small sliced croissant pieces
- 12 ounces package mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 16 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 8 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare a 9 X 13-inch baking dish by spraying it with cooking spray.
- Cut the croissants up into bite-size pieces or 1-inch cubes. Layer half of them into the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle half of the mini chocolate chips over the croissants.
- Place the remaining croissants into the pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
- Add the eggs, sugar, vanilla and salt, and mix until thoroughly combined. With the mixer on low, pour in the milk and heavy cream. Beat until well mixed.
- Gently pour and evenly distribute the egg mixture over the entire pan. Sprinkle with the remainder of the chocolate chips.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
