Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, beat whipping cream, sugar, and ½ teaspoon vanilla until soft peaks form. Set aside.
  2. In a shallow bowl, whisk eggs, half-and-half, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and cinnamon. Dip each croissant half into egg mixture, coating both sides (letting each side soak about 10 seconds).
