Recipe Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ingredients<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Bread<\/strong>: Use stale bread as it will soak up the custard like a dream. Enriched breads like brioche or challah are wonderful for this recipe. Sourdough or French bread also works well. But if regular white bread is all you have, use it, as I did for my chocolate chip bread pudding<\/a>. Just reduce the soaking time to 15 minutes so it doesn\u2019t get too soggy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Butter<\/strong> adds richness to the pudding and makes the top golden and crunchy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milk:<\/strong> I used coconut milk for its subtle sweetness. And because it\u2019s gentle on my lactose-intolerant tummy! But feel free to use any milk you like. Or go for a dairy-free version using almond milk<\/a>, cashew milk<\/a>, or oat milk<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eggs: <\/strong>For that luscious, custardy texture. They also provide structure to the pudding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cherries<\/strong>: Fresh or frozen, both work, but I highly recommend using fresh if they\u2019re in season for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vanilla extract<\/strong>\u00a0gives the cherry bread pudding\u00a0so much\u00a0<\/em>warmth and depth. You can use homemade vanilla extract<\/a> or store-bought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
