Although, there are never any leftovers with this dessert, it is wonderful when served warm or cold. I use extra white Chocolate to dip fresh strawberries and serve my bread pudding with a dipped strawberry on the side. It makes this simple dessert look quite elegant.

How To Make white chocolate bread pudding

Step 1

Tear the bread into small pieces into a large bowl. Cover with paper towel or dish towel and allow to sit for 8-12 hours ahead of time (or overnight) to dry out.

Step 2

For the Bread Pudding, preheat the oven to 350F.
Step 3

In a medium bowl, mix lightly beaten eggs, sugar, half and half or cream, ground cinnamon and vanilla. Beat slowly until smooth.
Step 4

Melt butter in the microwave and beat it slowly into the sugar mixture.Pour this mixture over the bread pieces and stir gently to coat all the bread pieces.
Step 5

Pour mixture into a lightly greased 9 x 13 pan and press down gently to get rid of air pockets.
Step 6

Bake for 45 minutes at 350F or until lightly golden. Do not overbake.
Step 7

For the White Chocolate Sauce, do NOT make the chocolate sauce until the bread pudding is out of the oven because it will get too hard.
Step 8

Put chocolate pieces and butter pieces into a microwave safe bowl and microwave until melted, stirring every 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 9

Gradually add the confectioner’s sugar and beat until smooth.
Step 10

Add water a bit at a time until the chocolate mixture is smooth and easy to pour.
Step 11

Pour the chocolate sauce evenly over the top of the baked bread pudding.
