Ingredients

• 4 croissants
• 1 1/2 cups sugar, divided
• 5 eggs
• 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 18 oz. evaporated milk
• 7 oz. sweetened condensed milk
• 16 oz. half-and-half

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to350 degrees.

Slice croissants in half and lightly toast in oven, face up, for 10 minutes.

Caramelize the bottom of an 8x4" round pan by pouring 1/2 cup sugar into the pan. Dissolve the sugar over medium heat until light brown, making sure to cover the entire bottom of the pan. Let cool.

Layer toasted croissants in the pan.

In a blender, mix eggs for 2 minutes. Add cream cheese, evaporated milk and condensed milk; blend to obtain a creamy custard.

Pour egg mixture into a large bowl and add remaining sugar, half-and-half and vanilla. Mix with a wooden spoon
