My younger sister is getting married today! I thought this would be the perfect recipe to share on this blissful day....because this recipe truly is blissful!
I was just recently introduced to Kneaders earlier last year. I am a big sandwich fan, and convenient enough, that is what this restaurant specializes in! Aside from their yummy sandwiches, they have some delicious desserts, this Raspberry Bread Pudding being one of them. You could say it was love at first bite for me. Ever since my first bite, I have been on the lookout for a copy cat or similar recipe. Thanks to Pinterest, I have now found one! This could be a dangerous thing for me!
You will love the sweetness and fruitiness that this bread pudding offers!
KNEADERS COPY-CAT RASPBERRY BREAD PUDDING
recipe from: Purple Chocolat Home
- 1 1/2 loaves aged, white bread
- 1 qt. heavy cream
- 3 C. sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 5 C. raspberries, fresh or frozen (hers were fresh)
- 1 C. sugar
- 1/2 C. apple juice
In a large bowl mix the cream, sugar, egg and vanilla.
Cut bread into 1 1/2 inch cubes and add to cream mixture, coating the bread well.
Let stand 30 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to allow cream to absorb.
Mix the raspberries, sugar and apple juice, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
Layer a 9x13 inch baking pan 3/4 full with the bread mix and pour fruit filling over the bread mix, spreading evenly.
Top with the remaining bread.
Bake 40 minutes at 375.
Serve warm topped with vanilla cream sauce.
(If you want it to cut into nice squares you can chill it and then cut it into squares, then microwave it for 20-25 seconds per piece and top with sauce.)
Vanilla Cream Sauce
- 1 1/3 C. butter
- 5 T. flour
- 3 C. heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 2/3 C. sugar
Melt butter in medium saucepan and add flour. Stir 10 minutes until it has a nutty aroma, do not brown. Add salt, cream and sugar until mix is thick. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Serve warm over the pudding.
Enjoy!
