What could be better than this on a spring or summer morning? This bread pudding made with fresh strawberries is absolutely wonderful!

This is perfect for Easter morning, Sunday brunch just an anytime dessert. And it is so easy to put together.

Using croissants in place of regular bread gives it a nice texture. Adding coconut milk gives it a taste boost. The mixture of flavors is perfect. 

I use10 medium croissants or 15-20 minis. Adjust according to how large the croissants are. It doesn’t have to be exact. And if you can, but them a couple of days early……non-fresh bread is a good thing when making bread pudding.

Cut all the croissants in half and keep aside enough tops to cover the top of the pudding.

 

Whisk together the eggs, sugar and milks.

Pour over the top covering all of the croissants.

Gently press the halved croissants down into the egg mixture.

 

         Serve warm or cold. Either way is DELICIOUS.

          ENJOY!
