Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
In a small saucepan, over medium heat, bring cream and vanilla to a gentle boil. Remove from heat. Cover and allow to rest for 15 minutes.

Beat egg yolks and sugar in a small bowl until slightly thickened and pale in color. Gradually whisk cream and vanilla into sugar mixture. Return saucepan to stove and over medium heat, cook until thickened, stirring constantly. Strain.

Divide chocolate pieces into 6 individual 8 ounce remekins. Fill with croissant pieces. Pour cream mixture over each. Place ramekins in a water bath and bake for 1 hour, or until set. Remove from water bath and cool.

When ready to serve, reheat oven to 300 degrees. Place ramekins in oven for 5 minutes to warm. Remove from oven and invert ramekin onto serving plate. Drizzle with Creme Anglaise and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
