Effortless Chocolate Croissant Bake (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 340 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
02 - 480 millilitres whole milk
03 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
04 - 4 large eggs
05 - 265 grams granulated sugar
06 - 450 grams cream cheese, softened
07 - 300–370 grams mini croissants, cut into pieces

# Instructions:

01 - Butter a 23x33 cm pan lightly. Turn your oven on to 175°C.
02 - Spread the cut-up croissants all over the pan. Drop the chocolate chips across them so they’re scattered everywhere.
03 - In a bowl, beat the cream cheese so it’s creamy and smooth. Add vanilla, eggs, and the sugar, then stir well. Pour in the milk and mix until it’s all blended together.
04 - Pour the creamy custard on top of the croissants, making sure you get it into all the nooks.
05 - Leave things alone for about 20 minutes. The croissants will drink up the custard, or stick the pan in the fridge overnight if that’s easier.
06 - Slide the pan into your hot oven and bake between 35 and 40 minutes or until the middle is completely set.
07 - Give it a few minutes to cool down a bit. Dig in while it’s still warm.
