Cut croissants into quarters.
Heat cream and milk in medium saucepan just until a brief simmer (do not boil).
Place 1 1/3 cups chocolate chips into a bowl; pour hot cream and milk over top and let sit for 5 minutes.
Stir until combined and chocolate has completely melted; allow to cool an additional 5-10 minutes.
Whisk together eggs, sugar, vanilla, salt and malted milk powder in separate mixing bowl until well blended.
Add small amount of chocolate mixture slowly (while whisking) into egg mixture to temper the eggs. Slowly whisk in remaining chocolate mixture and mix well until combined.
Reserve half of chocolate custard mixture.
Add croissant pieces and ½ cup chocolate chips to remaining chocolate custard mixture then stir to evenly coat; deposit into well greased 2-inch half steam table pan.
