Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 c butter or margarine,softened
3 oz pkg. instant coconut cream pudding
1 tsp cinnamon
4 large eggs
3 c milk or cream
8 oz can crushed pineapple in its own juice
2/3 c flaked coconut
1 tsp almond extract
8 medium day old croissants, pulled into bite sized pieces

Steps:

  • 1. In your large mixer bowl, cream together butter, coconut dry pudding mix and cinnamon until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. In another bowl combine milk, undrained pineapple, coconut (and sometimes I add 1/2 c. golden raisins too) and almond extract. By hand hand, blend milk mixture into creamed mixture- mixture will look curdled, it should. Fold in croissant pieces. Pour into an ungreased 2 quart casserole of 9-inch square baking dish. Sprinkle top with cinnamon sugar if desired. Place casserole in a larger shallow pan on oven rack. Pour hot water into larger pan to depth of 1-inch. Bake in 325^ oven for one hour and 15 minutes for the casserole and about one hour for square dish or until knife inserted off center comes out clean.
  • 2. Note: Serve with butter rum sauce , if desired.
