Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Break your day-old croissants into bite-sized pieces and layer them evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish.
  3. Scatter a vibrant mix of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries over the croissant layer.
  4. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until silky smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture, whisking until well combined.
  6. Carefully pour the custard mixture over the croissant and berries, ensuring even coverage.
  7. Let the assembled dish sit for 10-15 minutes at room temperature to soak in the custard.
  8. Place the baking dish in your preheated oven and bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes.
  9. Once baked, allow the Berry Croissant Bake to cool slightly for about 10 minutes.
  10. Serve warm, optionally dusting with powdered sugar or pairing it with whipped cream.
