Mama Llama's Bread Puddin'!
THIS IS NOT DIET FOOD!
My mom used to make this unbelievably decadent bread pudding for me on special occasions. It's great for birthdays, holidays, promotions, or getting dumped... any occasion that calls for food that's "not on my diet"!
Bread Puddin'!
INGREDIENTS:
For the pudding:
1/4 cup butter
5-6 cinnamon rolls (I like to use pre-baked Rhode's Quick Cinnamon Rolls- the no-thaw kind)
2 eggs
2 cups whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Sauce:
1/2 lb butter
2 cups whipping cream
2 cups brown sugar
Easy to make... easier to eat!
Grease a 2-quart lidded casserole dish with butter.
Chop or cut cinnamon rolls into greased casserole dish.
Cut 1/4 cup butter into small pieces and sprinkle over the top of the cinnamon roll bits.
In a bowl, combine eggs, cream, and vanilla.
Pour egg mixture into dish.
Cover and bake at 350* for 30-45 minutes, or until an inserted knife comes out clean... Or until it looks done and you can't handle the delicious smell anymore!
While the pudding is in the oven, combine 1/2 lb butter and 2 cups whipping cream in a medium saucepan.
Melt together, stirring occasionally.
When completely melted, add brown sugar, stirring until completely dissolved.
Bring to a boil.
WATCH CAREFULLY! It will want to boil over!
Boil for 1-3 minutes, stirring continuously. Blow on the top to prevent boil-over.
Remove from heat and let cool.
Serve with sauce drizzled liberally over the top. And maybe on ice cream.
