What is Bread Pudding?

Bread pudding is made by combining stale bread or biscuits with eggs, cream, milk and cinnamon and baking them together to create an extraordinary dessert. This bread pudding recipe is perfect … not too eggy, not too wet or soggy. When baked in an 8″ x 8″ baking dish, it creates just the right thickness to give you a perfectly moist interior with a crunchy exterior just waiting to be doused with maple syrup!

For this version, a cup of blueberries is added to give a delicious summer twist but … the flavor combinations are truly endless when it comes to bread pudding!

How do you make Blueberry Bread Pudding?

Bread pudding is one of the easiest recipes to make … hands down!

In a large bowl, whisk the cream, sweetened condensed milk, eggs and cinnamon together. Tear the biscuits into bite-sized pieces and stir them into the mixture. Let it sit for about 10 minutes so that the biscuits can absorb the liquid.
Add the blueberries, stir and then pour the mixture into a baking dish.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes. Serve with warm maple syrup.

Tips for making Blueberry Bread Pudding

This is the perfect recipe for day old bread or biscuits! When the biscuits are “dried out”, they soak up the milk mixture more evenly.
This bread pudding can be made a day ahead of time. Put the ingredients together and pour into the baking dish. Cover and keep in the fridge until you are ready to place it in the oven. It may require a few additional minutes of baking if it’s cold when placed in the oven.
If you don’t want to use sweetened condensed milk, substitute a cup of milk and add a half cup of white or brown sugar to sweeten.
Bread pudding can be reheated in the oven. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until heated through.
This recipe can be made as a dessert but it can also be served for breakfast. It’s perfect with a cup of coffee!
Because this recipe contains milk and eggs, the bread pudding should be stored in the refrigerator. Put it in an air-tight container and keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days.

A more classic take on bread pudding is my version of Louisiana Bread Pudding with a yummy banana bourbon sauce to drizzle on top!
