[…] Ice Cream Floats with Sparkling Aranciata S’Mores Ice Cream Sandwiches Strawberries and Cream Bread Pudding Strawberry Rhubarb […]
So pretty much any time I pick up a loaf of angel food cake from the grocery store, it’s gone in like three days. And by “gone in like three days,” I mean “I eat the whole thing in three days.” Pretty much no assistance from my fiance on this one. Why? Because I’m crazy obsessed with the whole strawberries + angel food cake + whipped cream combo. And so it was only natural for me to dream up this tasty recipe for strawberries and cream bread pudding, which I’ve shared with you here today!
I mean, let’s be real: bread pudding and strawberries with cream are two pretty phenomenal desserts. So naturally, the combination of the two would be out-of-this-world, and this recipe does not disappoint! I used strawberries in two ways: frozen strawberries in the bread pudding mixture and fresh strawberries for topping.

The pudding itself is a lovely texture, crispy and crunchy where it is browned on the top, and lusciously creamy in the middle. The whipped cream is homemade, and while you could probably use store-bought whipped cream, I beg you to make homemade! It is so simple and it tastes a thousand times better.
This would be a great end to a Sunday supper, or pretty much a great snack on any lovely spring day. (Okay you can also eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Not that this happened in my house… at all.)
(P.S. How gorgeous are these dessert plates?)

A beautifully rich bread pudding recipe based on an old favorite: strawberries and cream!
Prep Time
20 min
Cook Time
40 min
Total Time
1 hr
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 2 tbsp. unsalted butter, + extra for coating baking dish
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- ¼ cup white sugar
- ¼ cup dark brown sugar
- ¼ tsp. Kosher salt
- 8 cups challah bread, cut into 1 to 1 ½ cubes
- 2 cups frozen strawberries, thawed (and roughly chopped if whole)
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
For whipped cream
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp. white sugar
- Fresh strawberries, sliced for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add milk, butter, vanilla, white sugar, brown sugar, and salt to a small saucepan over low heat. Simmer until butter melts, stirring occasionally. Allow mixture to cool slightly.
- To a 13x9 inch buttered baking dish, add cubed bread. Add frozen strawberries and beaten eggs to the cooled milk mixture and whisk to combine. Bake in preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, until custard is set and the edges of the bread are browned.
- While bread pudding bakes, prepare whipped cream. Add heavy cream, vanilla, and white sugar to a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whip on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Do not over whip.
- When bread pudding is finished baking, serve warm or at room temperature. Top with whipped cream and fresh strawberries. Enjoy!
