6-Ingredient Blueberry Croissant Bread Pudding

If you have never had blueberry bread pudding, you are in for a real treat. Bread pudding is one of my weaknesses and I have it every chance I get.

The best part? You can EASILY make it at home using just 6 ingredients that you will probably already have lying around the house. The bread pudding recipe is easy and it is even fun to prep with your kids on the weekend.

But this is no ordinary bread pudding recipe. This is a croissant bread pudding recipe. Oh oh oh! The flaky melt-in-your-mouth texture of croissants adds another dimension of flavor to this already fantastic blueberry bread pudding recipe.

Once you make this bread pudding with blueberries, it is easy to substitute your own fruit of choice. Perhaps you want to try with strawberries, raspberries, or even blackberries! The options are endless.

Many blueberry bread pudding recipes have a list of ingredients as long as your arm. Personally, that isn’t my vibe. I like things that are quick and easy but delicious and seem like you put in hours of time when it took just 10 minutes of prep!

Where To Buy The Croissants For Bread Pudding

Some of the best croissants for croissant bread pudding can be found at Costco. They are cheap but really great quality and come in a huge container.

Since this croissant bread pudding recipe only uses 6 of them, you will have plenty leftover in the event you want to make a round 2!

If you don’t have a Costco nearby, that is okay! You can merely head to the fresh baked goods section of your local grocery store and buy from there. You do not have to go to a fancy pastry shop.

Baker’s Note: When making croissant bread pudding, it helps if the croissants are day-old and a little dryer. You don’t want them to be stale, so you can brown them in your oven, if you want!

The croissant bread pudding recipe works fine with fresh croissants, but drier croissants soak up the topping and creamy pudding even better.

Again, no pressure, this is just if you have the time and want to try something new! The recipe is perfectly delicious as-is!

How To Reheat Blueberry Croissant Bread Pudding

Reheating the blueberry croissant bread pudding is so simple and easy! All you have to do is microwave your portion on high for 30-60 seconds, depending on your microwave and how hot you want it to be.

I know a lot of people don’t like using microwaves to reheat food, but this is the best and easiest way to reheat the blueberry bread pudding.

Freezing Blueberry Bread Pudding

Freezing bread pudding is super simple and easy, but there is a trick. Since I suggest heating up individual portions in the microwave, this is how you should freeze it.

First, let your blueberry bread pudding cool down all the way. Then, cut it into individual slices and place on a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet, evenly spaced and not touching each other.

Freeze until solid and then store slices in a ziplock baggy. It is important to freeze the pieces until solid beforehand so that they don’t stick together in the freezer which makes them impossible to defrost.

In order to defrost, simply take out the piece of bread pudding that you want and let it thaw on the counter. Once it is thawed part of the way, go ahead and pop it into the microwave until warm!
