When it comes to holiday baking, there’s always that one special recipe your family eagerly awaits year after year. This holiday season, why not add one more delicious recipe into the mix? Now, in my book, bread pudding could qualify as a breakfast item (it is basically just like a baked French toast, just uses less egg and more milk or cream usually) or as a dessert. So, I am including today’s recipe for cranberry bread pudding as one that could be served at your Christmas breakfast /brunch. However, you could also serve this as a dessert. Either way it would be a great new recipe to serve.
Now I thought this bread pudding was sweet as is and didn’t need any syrup for breakfast. Even if you serve it as a dessert, I personally think it really doesn’t need anything but maybe a spoonful of sweetened whipped cream. However, eggnog syrup or homemade caramel sauce would be a great addition if you want to make it extra decadent.
I adapted this recipe from Eagle Brand. It uses condensed milk instead of sugar and cream. I makes it nice and sweet. The original recipe used dried cranberries and white chocolate chips. Since I was serving it for breakfast, I opted to use fresh and omit the white chocolate chips. I loved the fresh cranberries in it! They were a nice slightly tar balance in the sweet bread pudding. If you aren’t a fan of cranberries, blueberries would be a great alternative. You could even use raspberries or blackberries. Any of the fruit you use doesn’t even have to be fresh, you could use frozen.
