- Cut the warm bread pudding into squares or spoon portions into serving bowls.
- Pour the warm vanilla custard sauce over each serving and enjoy immediately. For a special touch, dust with powdered sugar or add a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips for the Perfect Bread Pudding
- Use day-old bread: Slightly stale bread soaks up the custard better, giving a perfect soft-yet-firm texture.
- Try different add-ins: Swap raisins for chocolate chips, dried cranberries, or toasted nuts for a twist.
- Make ahead: Assemble the pudding the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Bake the next day for a stress-free dessert.
- Reheat: Warm leftovers in the microwave or oven, adding a splash of milk or cream if needed to restore moisture.
Serving Suggestions
- Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an indulgent twist.
- Serve with coffee, tea, or a glass of dessert wine for a complete treat.
- Dust with cinnamon or nutmeg before serving for extra aroma and flavor.
