Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 6 large croissants cut into chunks
  • 2 cups milk whole or 2%
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon sugar for sweetness
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
For the Topping
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup whipped cream for serving
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds optional

Method
 

Prepare the Bake
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, sugar, and cinnamon.
  3. Add the croissant chunks to the egg mixture and gently fold until coated.
  4. Fold in the fresh raspberries carefully to avoid smashing them.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Bake and Serve
  1. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  2. After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
  3. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
  4. Dust with powdered sugar, and serve with whipped cream and sliced almonds, if desired.

Notes

For best results, prepare the dish the night before and refrigerate it overnight before baking in the morning. This allows the croissants to soak up the egg mixture fully.
