Today I have a recipe to sweeten your day and to celebrate the beginning of autumn, my favorite season. I have tried quite a few bread pudding variations, and this creation is definitely one of my favorites.
I added dulce de leche and cream cheese to my classic bread pudding recipe. The result was a wonderful dessert with all the comfort of the classic bread pudding, with the excitement of familiar flavors that reminded me of childhood.
Buen provecho!

Oh my gooey goodness! I couldn't imagine a better pair - caramel sauce sopped up by a dessert-y bread. This looks delicious!

I made this over the weekend, very easy and so delicious! I had never made bread pudding before and had only tasted it once. This recipe was not as sweet as I was expecting, but that was a plesant surprise, and the cream cheese was a great addition. I was thinking, if I want sweeter, I can always try the recipe with some Hawaiin sweet bread. Oh, and it was better the second day.

Looks fantastic but I'm unsure. .... Do you add the cream cheese/sugar mixture to the egg/milk mixture before pouring over the bread? I'm considering making this for an upcoming dinner party I'm hosting. Will have to double the recipe and hope it still works!!
