With Amaretto Sauce or Cavaldos Whipped Cream
(Serves 6 to 8)
Bread pudding is a baked dessert that combines bite-size cubes of bread with a rich custard mixture of
cream, eggs, and sugar with fruit and/or spices added. Known as 'poor man's pudding' it was created
as a means of salvaging stale bread. You can use any type of day-old homestyle white bread or try
using a brioche, cinnamon-raisin, pandoro, or panettone bread. You might want to try adding some
raisins or dried cranberries to the recipe or substituting peaches and almonds for the apples and
walnuts. Bread pudding is very versatile, so do a little experimenting with your favorite flavors.
Some type of whiskey, rum, or liqueur-flavored sauce is often served with bread pudding.
The amaretto sauce pairs well with the apple bread pudding but a simple whipped cream flavored with
vanilla or almond extract is also nice.
