The Best Homemade Bread Pudding with Vanilla Sauce (Warm, Custardy & Easy!)
Laura walks you through making a classic bread pudding from scratch using day-old French bread soaked in a rich custard of eggs, milk, butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg. The bread pudding bakes up soft and custardy inside with a golden top, and is finished with a decadent homemade vanilla sauce made from butter, sugar, brown sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla. Perfect for holidays, family gatherings, or any time you need a cozy comfort dessert.
