Method
step 1
Split the croissants and spread a thick layer of mascarpone over the base of each, then top with a layer of jam and sandwich with the tops. Cut the filled croissants into large chunks and tip into a baking dish (ours was 18 x 25cm). Scatter over the blackberries, tucking some underneath the croissants.
step 2
Put the lemon zest, eggs, double cream, milk, vanilla and 2 tbsp of the sugar into a jug, and whisk until well combined. Pour this over the croissants and leave to soak for at least 1 hr, or in the fridge overnight.
step 3
Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Scatter the remaining 1 tbsp sugar over the pudding, then bake for 30 mins until puffed up, golden brown and set with a slight wobble in the middle. Spoon into bowls and serve warm with cream.
