Directions

Bread Pudding Directions

  • Prepare a 9″x13″ baking dish by brushing with 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
  • Preheat oven to 325°. Spread bread cubes evenly, in a single layer across 2 rimmed baking sheets and toast in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
  • Once toasted, remove from the oven to cool to room temperature.
  • Meanwhile whisk together Hiland custard, eggs yolks and ½ teaspoon kosher salt.
  • Reserving 2 cups of toasted bread cubes, place remaining toasted bread cubes in prepared baking dish. Reserve 1 cups of the custard mixture and pour the remaining mixture over the bread cubes. Sprinkle with ¾ (6 ounces) of the blackberries and ¾ cup of the chocolate chips.
  • Spread remaining bread atop the custard soaked bread, sprinkle with remaining blackberries and chocolate chips. Brush the tops of the bread with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and bake on the middle oven rack for 50-55 minutes or until no runny liquid remains in the dish and the center is firm when pressed.
  • Cool 10 minutes and serve with prepared glaze.

Glaze Directions

  • Place ingredients in a small saucepan and whisk together.
  • Heat over medium flames stirring continuously until the glaze is thickened and steamy. Do not bring to boil.
  • Remove from flame, cool to room temperature.
  • To serve, drizzle over served bread pudding.
  • Can be refrigerated up to 10 days in a lidded jar.
