Our Favorite Foolproof Bread Pudding Recipe For A Decadent Dessert

I'm a huge dessert enthusiast — there's just something utterly magical a perfectly crafted dessert! From rich, velvety chocolate cakes that melt in your mouth to delicate fruit tarts bursting with the flavors of summer, I've always believed that life's sweetest moments are celebrated through dessert. But not all desserts need to be complicated and time-consuming to create. In fact, some of the most divine sweet treats emerge from the simplest of ingredients and the coziest of kitchen rituals. And that brings us to one of my all-time favorites: bread pudding.

Bread pudding's origins may lie in frugality, serving as a way to repurpose stale bread, but it's evolved into a beloved comfort food over time. And let's be honest, there's something utterly captivating about taking basic ingredients — bread, milk, eggs, sugar — and transforming them into a dessert that's not just delicious but also deeply satisfying on a soulful level.

Now, if you've never experienced the sheer delight of a well-made bread pudding, I'm about to introduce you to a dessert that's not only nostalgic and heartwarming, but also incredibly easy to make. Here's my favorite foolproof bread pudding recipe — let's start baking!

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups of stale bread, cubed (use any type of bread you have)
  • 2 cups of milk
  • 3/4 cup of granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup of raisins or chopped dried fruit (optional)
  • Butter for greasing the baking dish
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Bread Cubes:
    • Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Grease a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) baking dish with butter.
    • Cut the stale bread into 1-inch cubes and place them in the greased baking dish.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
    • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
  3. Heat the Milk:
    • In a saucepan, warm the milk over medium heat until it's steaming but not boiling. Remove it from the heat.
  4. Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients:
    • Slowly pour the warm milk into the egg and sugar mixture, whisking continuously. This will temper the eggs and create a creamy custard.
  5. Add Raisins or Dried Fruit (Optional):
    • If you're using raisins or dried fruit, sprinkle them evenly over the bread cubes in the baking dish.
  6. Pour the Custard Over the Bread:
    • Pour the milk and egg mixture evenly over the bread cubes, making sure all the bread is soaked. Gently press down on the bread to ensure it absorbs the custard.
  7. Bake the Pudding:
    • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 35-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pudding is set. You can check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center – if it comes out clean, it's done.
  8. Cool and Serve:
    • Remove the bread pudding from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.
    • If desired, dust the top with powdered sugar for a decorative touch.
    • Serve warm as is or with a dollop of whipped cream or my favorite, a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Tips To Keep In Mind

  • Be careful not to over-saturate the bread. It should be moist but not swimming in the custard. Press it down gently to help it absorb the mixture.
  • To prevent the top from overcooking or cracking, consider using a bain-marie (a water bath). Place the baking dish inside a larger pan filled with hot water before baking.
  • Whether you cover your bread pudding while baking depends on the texture you desire. Covering it with foil for part of the baking time will result in a softer, more custardy pudding. Leaving it uncovered will create a firmer, crustier top.
  • Bread pudding often tastes even better the next day as the flavors have had more time to meld. Reheat it gently in the oven or microwave.
  • Soak raisins in warm water or your favorite liquor like rum for extra flavor.

Sullivan's Crossing season 2 just wrapped up on The CW, but we're not saying goodbye to any of our favorite characters just yet — at least, I hope so. I've been worried sick about Sully (Scott Patterson) since the finale ended with him trapped in the diner as it went up in flames, but Deadline confirms Sullivan's Crossing season 3 will premiere in 2025, meaning we don't have to wait multiple years to reunite with Maggie (Morgan Kohan), Cal (Chad Michael Murray), and the rest of the gang — and find out what happens to Sully (like SOME shows).

Here's everything we know about Sullivan's Crossing season 3, coming in 2025 and starring Morgan Kohan & Chad Michael Murray.

Will there be a season 3 for Sullivan's Crossing?

Yes, Sullivan's Crossing season 3 is on its way! “We are so excited to return to Sullivan’s Crossing next year for a third season,” Brad Schwartz, CW's President, tells Deadline. “Roma, this talented cast, and the entire creative team have built an incredible world full of emotionally charged storytelling that has resonated with viewers over the last two years. And tonight’s season finale includes a can’t-miss cliffhanger that will leave fans clamoring for more.”

Showrunner and executive producer Roma Roth (who's also behind Virgin River) expressed how excited she is to return to the Crossing too! “I am beyond thrilled that we get to continue telling this beautiful story about love and family with this extraordinary cast,” she says. “The love and support from both the fans and The CW has been overwhelming, and we can’t wait to show them what we have in store next.”

How to watch season 3 of Sullivan's Crossing?

Sullivan's Crossing season 3 will premiere on The CW in 2025! You can watch seasons 1 and 2 on The CW now (and rewatch until new episodes drop).

What happened in the Sullivan's Crossing season 2 ending?

Y'all know it's never a dull day at the Crossing (like seriously, can we please give Cal, Maggie, and Sully a BREAK?). In the Sullivan's Crossing season 2 finale, Sully and his friends successfully win the auction for the Crossing, meaning it's staying in the family (along with Sully's new partners Frank and Edna) and not going to Glenn.

Maggie finally tells Cal she's in love with him and they share the kiss we've all been waiting for. But before the episode ends, the group learns that the diner's caught on fire — and Finn and Clover are trapped inside. Sully and Cal run inside to get everyone to safety, and while Cal returns with Finn in tow, Sully remains inside as an explosion goes off. ("You have got to be kidding me," we all say in unison.) After so much back-and-forth in his relationship with Maggie, we can't say goodbye to him yet! But we'll have to wait for Sullivan's Crossing season 3 to see just what happens.

I'd consider myself a hot chocolate connoisseur. I've sipped rich and decadent drinks at Colonial Williamsburg, whipped up a homemade recipe for Christmas parties, and sampled my fair share of instant hot cocoa packets. So I was shocked when the Whole Foods Hot Chocolate ended up being one of my favorite cocoa options of all time — for only $2 a cup! The hot chocolate offers a smoother, richer taste than other instant cocoas I've tried, and it really offers a bang for your buck.

Keep reading for everything you need to know about the delicious Whole Foods Hot Chocolate.

The delicious Whole Foods hot chocolate is only $2 a cup.

Whole Foods

The Whole Foods hot chocolate (officially named Organic Milk Chocolate Flavor Mix Hot Cocoa Mix. Fancy!) is from the 365 by Whole Foods Market brand, and features 10 packets in a single box. Not only does that mean it's $2 a cup, but it's also easier than ever to whip up a late night beverage. My favorite thing ever is curling up with hot cocoa and a book or TV show in bed!

Instead of a pot or saucepan, all you need is a mug and a microwave. Just heat up your water or milk and mix a packet in! I'm pretty bougie when it comes to hot chocolate, and use equal parts water and soy milk, then add a splash of eggnog. Trust me, it makes the cocoa even richer and more flavorful than it was before.

The hot cocoa packets include organic cane sugar, organic nonfat dry milk, organic cocoa powder, and some sea salt among other ingredients.

Amazon

You can enter your zip code to find the Whole Foods hot chocolate near you, but you can also order it on Amazon for a quick delivery. And if you're not a fan of the packets, opt for a 12 oz container instead!

One Amazon reviewer says this product is "such a treat," and that it "dissolves without any issue," which is a huge challenge when talking about instant cocoa. "You can control how much of the flavor you want which we like since you just scoop it into your cup from the container," they continue. "Good size for the price. Container seems to last a while too."

"I'm a REALLY PICKY hot chocolate lover," another Amazon review says. "This is good stuff. It blends perfectly and tastes rich. I blend it 50/50 with 365 coffee and a hot cup of milk. Some reviews say it's expensive compared to Swiss Miss. I just checked and this is $6.79 for 12 servings - Swiss Miss Simply Cocoa's cheapest prices is $7.33 for 8 servings. This is a good buy."

"I like it because I can adjust the amount that I use, for myself I use less than is suggested because it is so rich and chocolatey," a third review says. "Price is on point. And product is consistent."

And if you mix it into your morning cup of coffee? Well, that's a mocha for way cheaper than you can find at Starbucks ;).

Glen Powell is the gift that keeps on giving, TBH. From his viral Anyone But Youpress tour to his iconic Twisterscowboy-in-the-rain scene, it's Glen Powell's world and we're all just living in it. Thankfully, the Glen-iverse is expanding with a new movie, and it's set to be spicier than ever. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Homewrecker, the upcoming erotic thriller, just officially landed at a production company, finally making Glen's new movie a reality. Wanna know more? Let's get into it!

Here's everything to know about Glen Powell's upcoming erotic thriller, Homewrecker!

Not too much is known about Homewrecker — other than that it's an erotic thriller. The film is based off of an unpublished story by Neil M. Paik (Reawakening, Rainbowfish) that's only three chapters long.
The Hollywood Reporterbroke the news that Legendary won the bidding war for Homewrecker this week. According to the outlet, there was "a seven-figure outright purchase" for the film rights and "a seven-figure arrangement" to have Paik write the screenplay.
With that deal in place, Glen Powell is set to star and produce this project, with Paik writing the script. So far, everything else is very under wraps, but here's what I do know:
  • Glen Powell is one of the most charming men in Hollywood, so I know he's gonna bring that charm to new heights in this film — even if they're slightly sinister heights!
  • Glen Powell in the rain in Twisters (yes, it's the second time I'm brining this up — it's fine) was so hot, and he wasn't even doing anything actually hot...just imagine the erotic thriller possibilities here!
  • IMAGINE YET ANOTHER GLEN POWELL PRESS TOUR?
Basically, all this goes to say, the girlies stay winning when it comes to Glen Powell. 🙌 Can't wait for more updates on this very exciting project!
