Although, there are never any leftovers with this dessert, it is wonderful when served warm or cold. I use extra white Chocolate to dip fresh strawberries and serve my bread pudding with a dipped strawberry on the side. It makes this simple dessert look quite elegant.

  • 5. Pour mixture into a lightly greased 9 x 13 pan and press down gently to get rid of air pockets.
  • 6. Bake for 45 minutes at 350F or until lightly golden. Do not overbake.
  • 7. For the White Chocolate Sauce, do NOT make the chocolate sauce until the bread pudding is out of the oven because it will get too hard.

  • 9. Gradually add the confectioner's sugar and beat until smooth.
  • 10. Add water a bit at a time until the chocolate mixture is smooth and easy to pour.
  • 11. Pour the chocolate sauce evenly over the top of the baked bread pudding.
