Cranberry Croissant Bread Pudding is the perfect combination of tart and sweet! I love the tart “pop” of the cranberries combined with the buttery croissants and the dusting of sweet powdered sugar. The homemade whipped cream is an added bonus on this Cranberry Croissant Bread Pudding.

When I decided I wanted to make something with a bag of frozen cranberries that I had in the freezer, I debated between a Cranberry French Toast Casserole and this Cranberry Croissant Bread Pudding. Other than the addition of the fresh whipped cream, the two dishes are basically the same and both are made with bread (croissants), egg, milk, and vanilla. And of course, in this version, let’s not forget the cranberries. With all that said, I may or may not have enjoyed this for dessert and then again for breakfast the next morning. I hereby give you permission to also enjoy this for breakfast (sans whipped cream of course)!
