Description
Bread Pudding with Cheesecake is a delightful dessert that combines the richness of cheesecake with the comforting texture of bread pudding.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups of stale bread, cubed
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ½ cup chocolate chips or raisins (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, add the cubed stale bread and set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Pour the custard mixture over the cubed bread, ensuring all the bread is soaked. Let it sit for about 15 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and lemon juice, mixing until creamy and well-combined.
- Transfer half of the soaked bread mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the top, then add the remaining bread mixture on top of the cheesecake layer.
- If desired, sprinkle chocolate chips or raisins on top of the final layer.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and allow the bread pudding to cool for about 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For best results, use stale bread to absorb the custard.
