Note: These recipes have been borrowed from Fearless Dining: Grandma's Old-Fashioned Bread Pudding & Homemade Old-Fashioned Vanilla Cream Sauce. They are gluten-free recipes, but you can use regular bread if you prefer. There are a lot of great gluten-free recipes on this site, so check it out if you can't have gluten.

Ingredients:

Bread Pudding:
3 Cup Gluten-Free Bread Cubes
4 Eggs
2 Cups Almond or Coconut Milk, (not canned)
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/4 Cup Melted Butter
3/4 Cup Sugar
Dash Salt

Vanilla Cream Sauce:
1/2 Cup Sugar
1 TBSP Cornstarch
1 Cup Boiling Water
1 Slice of Lemon (I use 1 tsp Lemon Juice if I don't have lemons)
1 TBSP Butter
1 tsp Vanilla
Tiny Dash Salt

Method:

Bread Pudding:

1. Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. 
2. Spray an 8x8 baking dish with coconut oil.
3. Mix all wet ingredients in a bowl. 
4. Add in the sugar, salt, and butter.
5. Add bread cubes, mix, and allow to sit for 20 minutes so it absorbs the liquid. Stir every 5 minutes.
6. Pour the mixture into a baking dish and spread around the pan.
7. Bake 20-25 minutes until cooked.

Vanilla Cream Sauce:

1. In a small saucepan, add sugar and cornstarch.
2. Pour in a little of the hot water and whisk quickly to blend. 
3. Turn on the stove onto low heat and add the rest of the water, butter, vanilla, and lemon.
4. Simmer for 10 minutes until thickened.

Serve warm with vanilla cream sauce drizzled over the top just before serving. I also occasionally serve with a scoop of ice cream on the side. It's amazing!
