Bread Pudding is one of my all time favorite desserts and I think just about every country in the world has a version of it – just like Rice Pudding!

I’ve already presented the Caribbean Coconut Bread Pudding here and NOLA style New Orleans Bourbon Bread Pudding here. I’ve even presented a savory version of bread pudding here! Now it’s time to cross the pond over to the UK!

Bread & Butter Pudding is a little different in that slices of buttered bread are layered into a casserole dish before the custard mix is poured over.

I took the classic UK dessert to the next level by adding chocolate into it.

Garnish with some powdered sugar and serve with some vanilla ice cream to really make it even more spectacular than it already is!

Every bite will have you craving more!
