# Ingredients List:

→ Bakery

01 - Cut 5 large old croissants into chunks about 1 inch

→ Chocolate

02 - 200 g semi-sweet chocolate bits

→ Dairy

03 - 480 ml whole milk

→ Eggs and Sweeteners

04 - 4 eggs, large
05 - 100 g sugar

→ Flavorings

06 - 1 tsp vanilla
07 - A pinch (¼ tsp) salt

→ Garnishes

08 - A sprinkle of powdered sugar
09 - Serve with fresh berries or whipped cream

# Detailed Cooking Steps:

01 - Heat the oven to 175°C and lightly oil a 23 by 33 cm pan.
02 - Put croissant pieces into the pan in an even layer. Then toss chocolate chips across them.
03 - Whisk milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt together in a big bowl till it's smooth.
04 - Drizzle the custard over croissants. Press down gently with a spatula so they soak well.
05 - Give it 10 to 15 minutes to soak up the custard fully.
06 - Bake without cover for 45-50 minutes till set and golden on top. If it browns too fast, cover loosely with foil in the last 10-15 minutes.
07 - Cool a bit before adding powdered sugar. Best enjoyed warm with berries or whipped cream.

# Helpful Hints:

01 - Old croissants keep this from getting too soggy. Try different chocolate chips or swap vanilla for almond extract for a new twist.
