Mother’s Day is coming and we all know that that means brunch! Brunch just tends to come much earlier when
it isn’t accompanied by witty t-shirts and bottomless mimosas, so whip this up Saturday
night before you go out and dust it with powdered sugar on a pretty plate
before you head to mom’s house and while you’re at it, make the lady a mimosa,
she deserves it for putting up with you for the last few decades! This is as easy as forgetting you bought a
bag of croissants on Thursday and having some simple ingredients and fresh
berries in your fridge, no fresh berries? Defrost some frozen ones!
Ingredients
6 croissants, stale preferred, cut into ½ inch cubes
3 eggs
6 oz. softened cream cheese
1/3 cup half and half, or cream, or milk is fine as well (depends on
if you’re on a diet, or how much you love your mom)
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
6 oz. mixed berries, chopped up (I used blackberries and raspberries)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray an 8-inch spring form pan with non-stick spray.
Chop berries in to quarters. Cut
croissants into ½ inch cubes set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, or a regular bowl and a hand mixer,
cream the cream sugar and eggs together.
Add the cream cheese, vanilla and milk or cream and mix until well
combined. Add the berries and the
croissants and mix them together until the croissants are saturated.
Pour the mixture into the spring form pan and spread it evenly
across.
Bake 350 degrees for approximately 45 minutes or until the top is firm
or you can insert a knife and remove it cleanly.
Let cool for 15 minutes and remove the “spring” exterior of the
pan. Let cool overnight. Sprinkle with powder sugar and garnish with
fresh berries.
