Sourdough Bread Pudding

By Dustin

Great way to use up Sourdough Bread which is beginning to go stale and is quite yummy & a breeze to make. It's also a great dessert for the cooler months.

Ingredients

• Optional:
• 5 cups sourdough bread, cubes
• 3 cups milk
• 1 cup caramel flavored cream (liquid coffee creamer)
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/3 cup dried cherries, cranberries or raisins
• 1/2 cup shredded coconut

Preparation

Step 1

1 Place bread cubes in lightly greased 2-quart casserole. In large bowl beat together milk, cream, eggs, sugar, almond extract, nutmeg, & cinnamon. Pour over bread cubes. Stir in remaining ingredients and make sure all the bread is coated.
2 Bake in preheated 350°F oven until knife inserted near center comes out clean, about 50 to 60 minutes. Serve with whipped cream and a dash of cinnamon, if desired.
3 Note: For a puffier pudding, refrigerate several hours or overnight before baking.
