I've tried many bread pudding recipes, but this one I created from not only what I had on hand; but I wanted something a bit different. If you like orange & cranberry-try as follows. If you prefer other dried fruit-be my guest & have fun with this. Enjoy!

Those white spots are cream cheese. If you do not care for it, you can sub out a bit more milk or cream-we liked it this way! Hope you like this...it is my own creation....after making several others...enjoy!

Ingredients

12-14 slices stale white bread -remove crusts-cut up into squares
8 - eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 box 8oz. trader joes whipping cream
2 1/2 cups milk
2 teaspoons real vanilla
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 cup trader joes orange flavored dried cranberries
1 large trader joes cream cheese (or any brand)
4 tablespoons melted butter

How To Make yummiest bread pudding-ever!

Step 1

Cut the crust off of the bread. If the bread is not quite stale; put the cubes into the 9x13 sprayed pan and place in oven while it is pre-heating to 350 degrees. This will dry it out a bit.

Step 2

Sprinkle with the orange flavored cranberries. ( if you have another flavor or choose another dried fruit...be my guest) Also, if you have only regular dried cranberries-you can use about 2 Tbsp. of grated orange rind. We just love the Trader Joes orange ones.
Step 3

While oven is heating, put eggs, whipping cream, milk, sugar, cinnamon, & vanilla in large mixing bowl and mix on med/high until well blended.
Step 4

Remove the bread cubes from the oven & add the berries and cubed cream cheese by tossing by hand.
Step 5

Pour the liquid mixture on top of the bread. Using a fork, tap all bread gently to cover it with liquid.
Step 6

Place pan in oven and bake approx. 40 minutes or until the mixture is set. (40 minutes did it with my elecric oven)
Step 7

Remove from oven & either serve hot with vanilla ice cream for dessert; or let it cool a bit and serve as is for breakfast- the cream cheese cubes seem to be quite hot-so be careful about eating it too soon.
