White Chocolate Bread Pudding
White Chocolate Bread Pudding is ultra rich and decadent. I can't think of anything better to do with stale white bread.
Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 18-20 white sandwich bread slices
- 1 (11-ounce) package white chocolate chips chopped into smaller pieces
- 6 large eggs
- 3 1/3 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
White Chocolate Sauce
- 1 (11-ounce) package white chocolate chips
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
Instructions
- Cut the crusts from the bread and discard them.Lightly spray a baking dish with cooking spray. (Note: The baking dish I use is 8x11 inches. You can use a 9x13-inch or slightly smaller baking dish.)
- Place bread slices in 3 layers in the baking dish, sprinkling each layer with white chocolate chips.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, sugar,vanilla, and salt.Pour over the bread.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.Mix together cocoa powder and sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle on top of bread pudding.
- Bake for 45 to 50 minutes.
- To make sauce, place all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring continuously, until melted.
- Serve warm, drizzled with white chocolate sauce.
Notes
Note: You don't have to chop the white chocolate chips but the white chocolate is more evenly distributed if you do.
