butter – Soften the butter for best results in making the recipe. croissants – Use large croissants cut in half lengthwise. Pumpkin Puree – Use my simple homemade recipe or one 15-ounce can. whole milk heavy cream eggs dark brown sugar vanilla extract – Use my homemade vanilla or choose a quality store-bought one. kosher salt cinnamon
Mix the Pudding. While the croissants are in the oven, whisk together the pumpkin puree, milk, cream, eggs, sugar, salt, vanilla, and cinnamon. Add Pudding to Bread.
