Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9×9-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
Evenly spread the broken croissant pieces in the prepared dish. Scatter the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries on top.
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually add the sugar, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the croissants and berries.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 14 hours.
Uncover and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
Serve warm with powdered sugar or syrup, if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

Can be assembled the night before and baked fresh in the morning.
Try adding a touch of lemon zest for extra brightness.
Frozen berries can be used if fresh aren’t available — just thaw and drain before using.
