Gingerbread Bread Pudding

 

 

Made this fantastic dessert for Christmas dinner. This by far is now one of my favorite bread pudding recipes. The flavor of almost perfect gingerbread incorporated in the delicate and filling bread pudding is the perfect combination. I found this recipe online but altered it slightly. Top it with a vanilla sugar icing drizzle and you have yourself a little piece of heaven. Gingerbread Bread Pudding.

 

Ingredients:

• 1 loaf French bread cut into cubes
• 2 1/2 cups milk
• 5 eggs
• 2/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup molasses
• 1tsp ginger
• 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp all spice
• 2 tsp vanilla
• Milk
• Powder sugar

1. Cut bread into cubes and let sit overnight out to harden up.
2. Preheat oven to 350.
3. Mix together the milk, eggs, sugar, molasses, spices, and 1 tsp vanilla in a large bowel.
4. Place bread cubes in another bowel and pour the milk mixture over. Let sit for roughly 15 minutes.
5. Pour bread mixture into a 9 x 13 greased baking pan and bake in oven for 50 minutes until the center no longer jiggles.
6. Take some milk, powdered sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla and mix together to create a smooth pourable icing.
7. Remove bread pudding from oven, slice, and serve with the vanilla icing drizzled on top.



This bread pudding was so delicious that everyone in the house loved it and asked for seconds.  Definitely give this one a try.
