Fresh vs Frozen Berries

When you make this blueberry croissant bake you can use fresh or frozen. The frozen berries will bleed a bit of the juice and discolor. But the flavor is delicious either way.

If you use frozen just mix them in frozen and they will thaw.

Tips & Tricks

Use Day-Old Croissants: Slightly stale croissants soak up the custard better, creating a richer texture.
Cream Cheese Hack: Soften the cream cheese fully before mixing to avoid lumps in your custard.
Refrigerate Overnight: Letting the dish rest overnight helps the custard fully absorb into the croissants.
Fresh vs. Frozen Berries: Fresh blueberries work best, but frozen can be used—just thaw and drain them first.
Add a Crunchy Topping: Sprinkle with a little granulated sugar or slivered almonds before baking for added texture.

FAQs

Yes! While croissants are ideal for their buttery texture, you can use brioche or challah as a substitute.

If you’re short on time, let the dish sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb the custard before baking.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or oven.

Absolutely! Strawberries, raspberries, or even a mix of berries make a delicious alternative.

Yes, you can freeze it before baking. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, then bake directly from frozen—just add about 15-20 minutes to the baking time.
