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.

I’ve used my own recipe for Brioche 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.

Strawberries & Cream Bread Pudding
Strawberries & Cream Bread Pudding. An old fashioned, comfort food classic with a delicious summer twist, during strawberry season and beyond.
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 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups whipping cream
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 3 eggs
- 3 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- Pinch salt
- 1 cup good quality strawberry Jam
Instructions
- Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish well.
- Toss the bread cubes with the cinnamon and nutmeg.
- Whisk together all of the other ingredients, EXCEPT the strawberry Jam.
- Place half the bread cubes in the bottom of the baking dish and over the surface, add about 9-12 dollops (1/2 cup) of good quality Strawberry jam
- Top with the remaining half of the bread cubes and sprinkle with another 9-12 dollops of strawberry jam.
- 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.
- Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 45-50 minutes until the custard is set and no longer liquid in the center.
- Let the bread pudding stand for about 20 minutes before serving.

I love bread pudding, and the idea of strawberries in it is very enticing. Were I not on a hardcore diet, I could eat the entire 8x8 pan!
