Lemon Curd Croissant Bread Pudding

This luscious concoction combines Cathy's croissants with a rich vanilla custard and homemade lemon curd. The resulting contrast of textures and flavors is delightful--crispy croissant croutons on top, soft and smooth custard-soaked croissants in the middle intersperced with dollops of silky tangy lemon curd plus a thin layer of the same on the bottom. Serve it warm, scooped into elegant dessert cups or wide wine glasses for a pretty presentation. A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a few fresh blackberries on top is the perfect touch for this celebration-worthy dessert.
