Strawberry, Banana & Nutella Bread Pudding

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease a 13×9 baking dish.
2. Slice each croissant in half lengthwise, then slather one side with Nutella. Put the halves back together to make sandwiches, and cut each sandwich into 2-inch pieces.
3. Add sandwich pieces and strawberry and banana slices to your baking dish. Set aside. (I stuffed slices of fruit in the crevices between sandwich pieces and on top of everything.)
4. In a medium bowl whisk together eggs, cream, vanilla, salt and powdered sugar for your custard.
5. Pour custard evenly over sandwich pieces and fruit. Using a flat spatula, gently push down on the bread so that the custard starts to absorb.
6. Cover baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
7. Remove foil and continue to bake uncovered for 8-10 minutes, until bread pudding is gold brown and the liquid has been completely absorbed.
8. Let cool, then sprinkle with powdered sugar.
9. Spoon remaining Nutella into a sandwich bag and microwave for 20-30 seconds. Snip off the tip from one corner of the bag, and pipe melted Nutella all over the top of your bread pudding.
10. Slice and serve with whipped cream, ice cream, or both.
