Ingredients
  

  • 25 g butter at room temperature
  • 4 ready-cooked croissants torn in large pieces.
  • 2 eggs
  • 50 g caster sugar
  • 2 tbsp mincemeat or more
  • 100 ml Irish Liqueur or replace with extra cream
  • 250 ml cream
  • 75 g chocolate bonbon leftover or chocolate button

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 160˚C.
  • Generously butter an ovenproof dish and the croissant pieces. Place the croissant pieces in the dish and scatter the chocolate bonbons.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, and caster sugar until pale and fluffy. Stir in the mincemeat then the Irish liqueur and cream.
  • Pour most of the egg custard mixture over the croissant chunks and leave to stand for about 15 minutes or until it has soaked up all the liquid.
  • Press down a little over the croissant to check if they are saturated then pour the remaining custard over.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes until the custard is just set and the top is golden brown. Cover with tin foil if the croissant are backing too quickly.
  • To serve, bring the bread and butter pudding straight to the table and serve with some extra fresh cream or custard.
