Enjoy your favorite berry in this scrumptious STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM BREAD PUDDING topped with the most delicious creamy glaze. 
It’s strawberry season! And apparently strawberry week on my blog. Didn’t plan for that to happen but I just can’t help it. Did you catch Tuesday’s Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Cupcakes? To die for! Well, strawberries are awesome and make everything taste even better, including bread pudding. I mean, just look at this mouth-watering Strawberries & Cream Bread Pudding!
Ya see that? I love how the warm strawberry juices just bleed into the sweet creamy glaze. This dessert is divine! But, if you’re wanting more of a French toast casserole type of dish to eat for breakfast, you just need to make two adjustments. Increase the eggs and decrease the milk. With these adjustments the dish will be be firmer and more custard like. Both ways are delicious!
To make this yummy dessert you start out with some day old Italian bread and just cube it. Then you’ll make a mixture of milk, egg, vanilla, cornstarch, and lemon juice and mix it with the bread. To finish it off you’ll gently fold in those beautiful fresh berries. If you don’t want to spend a century slicing strawberries, get yourself a handy dandy strawberry slicer! I love mine! You can also use it for hard boiled eggs, kiwi, mushrooms…
Throw it all in a dish, bake for 40ish minutes and then after it cool for a few minutes, add that heavenly glaze. It’s the same glaze as my best ever Cinnamon Rolls. You’ll be licking your plate clean my friends!
