What Is Bread Pudding?

Bread pudding is typically made with stale bread, milk or cream, eggs, and fat like oil or butter. Popular around the world, bread pudding can be either sweet, made with ingredients like maple syrup, honey, and dried fruit and nuts, or savory, made with things like ham, cheese, and vegetables. The stale bread is soaked in the liquids of the recipe, other ingredients are added and then baked. This bread pudding has us soaking our day-old bread in a homemade white chocolate custard and whiskey, dotting with raspberries, and baking.

Gemma’s Pro Chef Tips for Making White Chocolate, Whiskey and Raspberry Bread Pudding

If your bread is still too moist and fresh, place slices in the oven at 350°F (180°C) for 15 minutes before starting this recipe. This recipe is great to make ahead! Assemble the bread pudding all the way up to adding the raspberries, then cover and refrigerate overnight. When you’re ready, uncover and bake as directed. Substitute bourbon instead of whiskey, or leave out alcohol altogether if desired! To make it even more decadent, use brioche or croissants instead of plain bread.

How Do I Store Bread Pudding?

Any leftover bread pudding can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Bread pudding also freezes exceptionally well. Make sure it is room temperature before putting single-serving portions in a freezer-safe container into the freezer; this will make thawing even easier. The frozen bread pudding will keep for 2 months.
