- Preheat oven to 180 C / Gas 4. Grease 9 of the holes in a muffin tin; place tin on a baking tray in case of spillage.
- Divide croissant cubes evenly among greased muffin holes. Press strawberries into and on top of the bread cubes.
- Beat cream cheese, caster sugar, milk, egg and vanilla extract together in a large bowl until smooth. Pour slowly into holes until croissant cubes and strawberries are fully soaked.
- Bake in the preheated oven until set and evenly browned, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes. Dust with icing sugar before serving.
Tip:
If using fresh croissants, spread cubes on a baking tray lined with parchment and toast them in the preheated oven to dry them out, about 5 minutes.

Just ate these delish little cups! Hubby and I loved them! Mine didn't look quite as pretty, but after powder sugar looked good. I used all 8oz. of cream cheese by error......still wonderful. Cut back sugar to 1/4 c and 6 small croissants instead...... all worked out. Will make for brunch soon.......sure my company will love these different little treats. Adjusted sugar was perfect! So glad I tried, thanks! - 22 Aug 2017 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
