Tips

What’s the best way to serve bread pudding?

The best way to serve this is in a dessert dish. Put the warm pudding in there first, and then, put the vanilla over the top of it to create a nice, glazed sauce that’ll enhance the dish.

Can I keep the extra in the fridge?

Yes, you sure can! If you want to have more bread pudding in the future, you can take it out, reheat it, and then serve it. Some people like it cooled though, so if you don’t want to heat it up, you don’t have to, just put it in a dessert dish and then add the vanilla warmed up on top of this.

Can I freeze this?

This is not a good dish to freeze for a few reasons. The bread that’s used for this will get hard, and it doesn’t really work for this type of dish.

Not just that, it also isn’t good because it tends to harden up if you’re going to have this. It’s a dish that’s best had in the fridge, and if you wnat to have a bit of this, you just have to heat it up.

For those curious, this dish works in the fridge for up to a week for best results, but some people usually have this dish gone because it’s so good after a couple of days, which makes sense given how nice and tasty it is, and how it can be the perfect dish for those who love to have bread pudding on hand, and one that they’ll absolutely love and enjoy no matter when they decide to have it too.
