Bread pudding is a simple dessert that can be done is so many different ways. I love adding fruit to my bread pudding, especially pineapples. The recipe below however calls for white chocolate. The sweetness of the chocolate, coupled with the bourbon sauces makes for an amazing marriage of flavors. One bite can send your taste buds on a journey that's sure to delight!

For Bourbon Sauce

Pour over bread pudding and serve.
I want to make this, but first I have a few questions. With just 4oz of white chocolate, can you taste it? Also, I don't consume alcoholic beverages. What could I replace the bourbon with?
ReplyDeleteYou can definitely taste the chocolate. Because you drop chunks of chocolate in various spots between your bread mixture, when eating you bite into warm chocolaty surprises in each slice. Instead of bourbon you may substitute a cider or grape juice to make a glaze. Hope this helps!
