cup milk

cup almond flour

tbsp raspberry preserves

oz granulated sugar

tsp vanilla bean paste
egg

pinch salt

oz fresh raspberries

cup heavy cream

tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9” round (or 8” or 9” square) baking pan w/ cooking spray, then line w/ a sheet of parchment paper. Place onto a baking sheet; set aside. Almond Frangipane: In a medium bowl, mix together all of the ingredients for the almond frangipane until well combined. Set aside. Custard. In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, sugar, melted butter, vanilla & salt until well combined. Set aside. Place 1/3 of the croissant cubes into the bottom of the prepared pan. Press down. Spread ~1/3 of the almond frangipane on top followed by 1/2 of the raspberry preserves. Then, dollop 1/2 of the fresh raspberries all over. Repeat this process 1 more time. Then finish by pressing the last 1/3 of croissant cubes on top & spreading the last of the almond frangipane on top of the croissants. Pour the custard all over & gently press down. Top w/ a generous sprinkle of turbinado sugar & slivered almonds. Let rest for at least 15 mins. *You can place into the fridge covered overnight, or bake right away.* Bake at 350F for 40-45 mins, until the top is golden and set, but still slightly wobbly. You can broil the top for 1-2 mins at the end if you like the almonds more toasted! Remove & let rest for at least 10 mins. Slice & serve warm w/ vanilla ice cream, if desired.
