Nothing says comfort food like a slice of warm, freshly-baked bread pudding with vanilla sauce. Our recipe is made with simple ingredients and brings together soft, buttery bread with warm flavorful spices and finishes with a decadent vanilla cream sauce.

This dessert is the perfect indulgence anytime you’re craving old fashioned comfort food. And the best part is it’s easy to serve up this home-baked goodness with our easy-to-follow recipe.

While I love a slice of warm bread pudding because it’s so delicious, this recipe helps to reduce food waste by using leftover or stale bread. And you can use just about any bread with this recipe, even hamburger or hot dog buns.
