Ingredients

Bread Pudding:

  • 5 cups Italian or French Bread, cut into 1" cubes (best if day old)
  • 1 ¾ cups heavy whipping cream
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar, I used coconut sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla paste, or teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cups fresh blueberries, rinsed (if out of season use frozen)

Vanilla Cream Sauce:

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons granulated organic sugar, again I use coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla paste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350. Butter bottom and sides of four 12 to 14 oz ramekins or one 13x7x2 glass baking dish. Place rack in center of oven.

Bread Pudding:

  • In a large bowl whisk cream, eggs, sugar and vanilla paste till well combined.
  • Add day old bread cubes, mix well.
  • Gently fold in blueberries.
  • Let sit for 10 minutes so bread absorbs liquid.
  • Separate evenly into ramekins or pour all into single baking baking dish.
  • Dust with a little more sugar if desired.
  • Bake for 25 minutes or until set. (If using a single baking dish instead of ramekins it may take more like 30-35 minutes)
  • Drizzle with cream sauce and serve.

Cream Sauce:

  • Place all three ingredients into small sauce pan. Heat on low till warm. Pour over bread pudding and serve.
  • Serves 4-8 (depending on if you share)
