Recipe Box, White Chocolate Butterscotch Challah Bread Pudding with Caramel Topping
While I was lunching with a friend recently, she told me that she was going home to make a White Chocolate Bread Pudding …boy, that sounded good to me…
She said she likes to use Brioche or Challah bread…which sounded great to me!
She offered to share her recipe….which sounded very generous to me!
I had to improvise a little…her recipe calls for 4 cups heavy cream…I had zero cups…
I used 1 can of sweetened condensed milk and 1 cup of half and half and just used enough bread cubes to fill the 9 x 13 pan, not quite the whole loaf
I also substituted butterscotch chips for half of the white chocolate chips
Once you pour the milk and egg mixture over all, pat it down with a spoon to submerge and soak the the bread
Be sure not to over bake this or it will be dry. Use the smell test, usually when you start smelling the recipe, the dish is done…or just about done
When it comes out of the oven, top the hot bread pudding with caramel bits and cover it up so they will melt a little
You can serve this with some caramel syrup if you like, but ours was plenty decadent and ooey gooey moist, just like this
I have to say I wasn’t a big fan of bread pudding…
Until I tasted this!
