Hear me out, though. Cinnamon Bread Pudding is fantastic served cold.
Now, if you’ve never had cold bread pudding, you’re missing out.
It’s sweet and creamy and, well, perfect for a hot summer night.
So, do yourself a favor, and try this bread pudding for dessert tonight.

So easy and how wonderful it is to be able to make it ahead of time. I served it with fresh whipped cream. It was a hit!!
Kate says
I’m so glad it was a hit!

Thank you!

I have made my bread pudding with cinnamon brioche bread and again with regular brioche bread. I do not add that much sugar. I use half of what the recipe calls for because the brioche is a little sweet. I leave refrigerated overnight. That way it is soaked very well. For the sauce I always add rum or bourbon to my vanilla sauce. I love this recipe! It’s delicious and goes a long way. Thank you!

Thank you! I’m glad that you liked it! Thanks for sharing your notes!

I made this with regular 2% milk and plain old white bread and it turned out great. I’m sure it would taste of coarse better as the recipe calls for better ingredients, but it still turned out great, thank you.
Kate says
That’s great! Bread pudding started out as a way to use what people had, so that’s perfect. =) Thanks for commenting!

Have you tried making this the night before to bake in the morning? I’ve looked at many recipes and I think this one sounds like it would make just what i’m looking for but with company coming it seems more convenient to have the pudding assembled and just pop in oven.
Kate says
I haven’t, but bread pudding isn’t far off from French toast, and I make a lot of overnight French toast casseroles. I don’t see any reason why you couldn’t make it ahead of time. Good luck! =)

Would you believe I’ve never eaten, or made, bread pudding?
Everybody adds raisins/sultanas (hate those)
I can always think of something more exciting to make for dessert, despite knowing I could simply omit ingredients I don’t like!!!!
But, I have some croissants that need using and had considered making a bread style pudding with cinnamon, then I came across this recipe, what excellent timing.
Thanks for sharing this.
Kate says
I never put the raisins in mine either, though chocolate chips make a nice substitute for them. Bread pudding is one of my favorite desserts, so I hope that you enjoy it, too! =)
