Croissant Raspberry Vanilla Dump Cake
Equipment
- 1 9" x 13" baking dish or pan
Ingredients
- 6 large croissants torn into pieces
- 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1 21-ounce can vanilla pie filling
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a bit of butter or non-stick spray.
- Take those lovely croissants and tear them into bite-sized pieces. Scatter them evenly in the prepared baking dish, pretending you're some sort of pastry Picasso.
- Pour the raspberries over the croissant pieces, making sure to distribute them evenly. If a few escape into your mouth, no one needs to know.
- In a small bowl, mix the vanilla pie filling and the melted butter until smooth and gloriously shiny. Pour this over the croissants and berries, using a spatula to make sure everything is covered in that sweet, buttery goodness.
- Sprinkle the granulated sugar over the top, because we all know a little extra sweetness never hurt anyone.
- Pop the dish in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and your kitchen smells like heaven.
- Let the cake cool for about 10 minutes before digging in—unless you’re into burning your tongue in the name of dessert.
