I have been trying bread pudding recipes, and I couldn’t find a reliable, classic recipe. This is the one! Mmmmmmmm…. This is so good! I used long-frozen hamburger buns, and the results were incredibly delicious. There is a lot of sauce, so next time, I think I might drizzle some on the pudding and also reserve some on the side.

Oh my goodness. I think my eyes rolled back in my head when I took a bite! This is SOOOOO good.

I rated this 5 stars, but I also made a couple of small adjustments to the recipe. First of all, I cut the sugar in the pudding portion to 2 cups. Then I cut the sugar in the sauce to 3/4 cup + 2 tbsp. The dessert was still quite sweet. I didn’t want to use the whiskey or rum in the sauce, so I simply added 1 1/2 tsp of vanilla to the sauce after I removed it from heat. It was delicious. I will definitely be making this again!

The bread pudding part was really good!! But the sauce on top was a little much in more ways than one. Will try cutting it in half or change it all together =) Great recipe though!!

This was so good! After spending a week on a cruise where I could order bread pudding at 4 in the morning, there was no way I was going to survive till next cruise without it and this tasted just as good, if not better. I used sweet Hawaiian rolls and they were perfect! I’m usually not one for sauce, but even that was good too. I did substitute the alcohol for vanilla though. It’s the perfect basic bread pudding recipe and would easily go well with peaches or strawberries too.

Meyer Lemon Pudding Cake

Something magical happens when this cake goes in the oven. The top turns into this wonderfully light, fluffy, and moist cake, while the bottom pools into a warm lemon pudding. The whole thing tastes incredibly comforting, but light.

Mexican Hot Chocolate Pudding

by Patricia @ ButterYum and filed in Custards/Puddings, Desserts

I absolutely adore the flavors of chocolate and cinnamon together so I tweaked a chocolate pudding recipe to mimic the flavor profile of Mexican hot chocolate. Want some? You know you do.

Measure out the ingredients and grab a heavy-bottomed saucepan, a whisk, and some dessert bowls and we’ll make it together. You won’t believe how fast and easy the process is.
