Cranberry Biscuit Bread Pudding

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups crumbled biscuits
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped dried cranberries or craisins
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • caramel sauce

Alternative Ingredients: replace the dried cherries, chopped pecans, chocolate chips and caramel sauce with raisins, chopped walnuts and custard sauce.

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350° F.
  2. Crumble the biscuits into a greased loaf pan, and let soak in the milk and half-and-half for fifteen minutes.
  3. Beat the eggs with the sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt, and stir into the milk and soft biscuits making a batter.
  4. Mix the cherries, nuts and chocolate into the batter.
  5. Bake for 1 hour, or until solid. If you insert a knife to test for doneness, it should come out mostly clean, though the melted chocolate may coat it a bit.
  6. Serve while still warm; spoon into serving dishes and drizzle with the caramel sauce (or the custard sauce if using the alternative ingredients).
