To serve:
- Preheat the oven to 170˚C/150˚C/gas mark 3. Combine the double cream and milk in a pan and place over a medium heat until tiny bubbles begin to appear around the edge, then remove from the heat immediately.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, caster sugar and vanilla extract until combined.
- Add a splash of the hot cream mixture into the eggs and whisk well. Add half of the remaining cream mixture and whisk again to combine, then whisk in the remainder.
- Split the croissants in half and spread the cut sides with butter and jam. Sandwich the croissants back together, then place into a baking dish, overlapping them to fit snugly.
- Pour over all of the custard and leave to soak for 10 minutes.
- Dot over all of the strawberries, then scatter over the chocolate chips, if using. Sprinkle the demerara sugar evenly over the top.
- Bake for 30 minutes until the custard has set and the top is golden and crisp. Allow to sit for five minutes before serving.
Note: Custard can be used as an alternative to cream, if you wish.
