Caramel Sauce— Bread pudding and caramel sauce go together like peanut butter and jelly. Yes, bread pudding is already delicious, but it's a hundred times better drenched in caramel sauce.
Bourbon Sauce—Not a fan of caramel sauce? I find that hard to wrap my mind around. However, if this is you, try this Bread Pudding with Bourbon Sauce instead.
Ice Cream—Another great topping option is ice cream. French Vanilla ice cream is my family's favorite. Adding a scoop or two to the warm bread pudding results in a creamy, gooey sauce that's irresistible.
👩🏼🍳 Pro Tips
- Instead of croissants, you can also use stale bread or Challah bread.
- Instead of butter, use coconut oil for a healthier option.
- For a boozy bread pudding add a splash of brandy or rum.
- Walnuts, pecans, and raisins can also be added to the peach bread pudding.
- Both the caramel sauce and ice cream add moisture and creaminess to this crossiant bread pudding recipe, especially if it gets overcooked and dry.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
