Macadamia Nut Bread Pudding is a sweet, nutty and delicious dessert that originated in Hawaii. It's made with leftover croissants, eggs, evaporated milk, coconut milk, sugar, shredded coconut and macadamia nuts. The croissants are cut into small pieces and soaked in a mixture of milk and eggs. The mix is then poured over the croissant pieces and topped with shredded coconut and chopped macadamia nuts before being baked in the oven. The result is a sweet and creamy dessert that's perfect for any occasion. Macadamia Nut Bread Pudding can be served warm or cold, and goes well with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
