Strawberries & Cream Bread Pudding

Strawberries & Cream Bread Pudding. An old fashioned, comfort food classic with a delicious summer twist, during strawberry season and beyond.

Originally published Feb 2011.

Regular readers of this blog will know that Spouse has a great fondness for bread pudding. With Valentine's Day falling this week, I couldn't think of a better dessert than this ultra-simple, warm, comforting bread pudding.

This one couldn't be easier, taking advantage of your favorite, good quality strawberry jam as a shortcut. An all fruit jam is best, not overly sweet heavy pection based cheaper jams.

Of course homemade would be perfect, and you can include some fresh strawberries scattered throughout if they are in season.

That idea would be particularly good using our own recipe for Roasted Strawberry Jam. That's the most intensely strawberry jam you've ever tasted.

I've used my own recipe for Brioche Rolls for the bread but you can buy some from a good bakery if you prefer.

Georgetown Bakery here in St. John's does a fine brioche.

Ingredients

• 5 cups brioche cubes (Use any good quality bread. I’ve used day old croissants here but Brioche, French, Italian or Belgian bread is good too.)
• 1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 ½ cups whipping cream
• 1 ½ cups milk
• 3 eggs
• 3 egg yolks
• ½ cup sugar
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• Pinch salt
• 1 cup good quality strawberry Jam

Instructions

1. Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish well.
2. Toss the bread cubes with the cinnamon and nutmeg.
3. Whisk together all of the other ingredients, EXCEPT the strawberry Jam.
4. Place half the bread cubes in the bottom of the baking dish and over the surface, add about 9-12 dollops (½ cup) of good quality Strawberry jam
5. Top with the remaining half of the bread cubes and sprinkle with another 9-12 dollops of strawberry jam.
6. Pour the mixture evenly over the bread cubes, pressing down slightly to make sure all the cubes are soaked. If time permits, let it sit in the fridge for an hour before baking.
7. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 45-50 minutes until the custard is set and no longer liquid in the center.
8. Let the bread pudding stand for about 20 minutes before serving.
