Bread Pudding to DIE for
Someone asked for a recipe for bread pudding they had recently devoured in a restaurant. It was posted and the ingredients list is noted below:
Cranberry Walnut Bread Pudding (Serves 10)
Ingredients
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups half and half
10 each eggs
1 ½ cups dried sweetened cranberries
1 ½ cups toasted chopped walnuts
2 sticks melted, unsalted butter (if using salted butter, omit salt from recipe)
1 cup packed light brown sugar
¼ tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp pure maple syrup (optional)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 pinch fresh grated nutmeg
14 cups ¾ inch white bread cubes, preferably
from croissants
Vanilla ice cream
I believe most everyone has heard how bad red meats, particularly processed red meats, are because of their high saturated fat levels. I think most people know decadent desserts are high in calories, but I wonder how many truly know that their saturated fat content rivals that of a prime piece of meat. One serving of the above bread pudding contains ~ 35 grams of fat; most of which is saturated fat. That far exceeds my TOTAL daily fat intake of all types and it was just their dessert! There are fats and there are FATS. Desserts are not high calorie because of olive oil or other healthy fats. They are loaded with saturated FATS and sugars.
I love bread pudding. My wife makes a wonderful bread pudding with very little fat; a healthy bread pudding. As you’ve read elsewhere on this site, MODIFY existing recipes to make them heart healthy.

By the way, my wife’s bread pudding recipe is in my book (see link) along with other healthy recipes.
