Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this bread pudding ahead of time? Yes, you can prepare the bread pudding and refrigerate it before baking. When you’re ready to serve, bake it as directed, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time if needed.

What if I don’t have heavy cream for the vanilla sauce? You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk, though the sauce will be less rich and thick.

How can I tell if the bread pudding is done? The bread pudding is done when it’s golden brown on top and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. It should still be slightly jiggly but set.
