Method

  1. 1. Line a medium sized oven dish with parchment paper.
  2. 2. Tear the croissants and arrange in the dish. Dot the nutella around the dish. On top and in between the torn croissants.
  3. 3. To make the chocolate custard. Heat the cream and milk together in a small saucepan with the liquor, don’t let this boil. Whisk together the eggs and sugar, stir the remaining 200g chocolate and salt into this. Pour the warmed cream and milk mixture onto the sugar mix, whisking until the chocolate has melted.
  4. 4. Pour the mixture over the croissants, leave to soak for at least 20 minutes. Push the pieces of croissants down as required so they are all soaked in the hazelnut liquid.
  5. 5. Preheat the oven to 160°C/325°F/Gas mark 3.
  6. 6. Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown. Scatter with the hazelnuts and serve to the table with vanilla ice cream.
