Gingerbread Smores Bread Pudding Recipe


Gingerbread Smores Bread Pudding Recipe
This decadent dessert brings to mind fall and winter with its accents of cinnamon and ginger. Make it "couture" by serving in individual ramekins with whipped cream, a sprinkling of cinnamon and chopped crystallized ginger.

Sorry, I'm new at posting. This isn't a bread pudding in the traditional sense but rather a variation on the theme. I created it in the same way as a bread pudding but decided to make it much more simple by omitting the "pudding part." If you want to make it as a bread pudding you can combine 4 eggs, 2 c milk and 1 tsp vanilla and pour over the mixture, let soak at least 30 minutes and bake at 375 for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Enjoy!

There are 10 - 12 servings in this recipe. I have one student that doubles the toffee and halves the chocolate as she is not a big chocolate fan.


OK this is my new fave dessert! I made this for my hubby yesterday and he tried to eat the whole thing in one sitting!! Thanks for the recipe!!!


I'm so excited!!!! The food network is going to feature this recipe in its November cooking publication!
