Carrot Bread Pudding


Last week I made a carrot bread pudding.  I thought it would be quite tasty adding the carrots, pineapple and nuts to the bread filling.  I have in the past made a peach bread pudding plus a pumpkin one.

I made this carrot bread pudding last night and added cream cheese frosting.

 I wanted to use my new decorative Nordic Ware Crown bundt pan. You can purchase it HERE.


To make the carrot curls, I used my Carrot Curler and Peeler.

  2. Man, that looks good! I had "Hawaiian bread pudding" once in Maui and it was very similar to your recipe but used macadamia nuts instead of walnuts. It was so delicious that I went bavk to the restaurant again and had it a second time, LOL! Also, I lust after all things Nordic Ware. But I have never actually bought a pan because then I would bake too much and eat too many carbs, alas. So I just go to a local kitchen store that carries a huge selection of Nordic Ware and spend a while fondling the pans.

  13. O. M. G. That is a work of art, and sounds absolutely decadent! Although I'm a baker, I've never made bread pudding. Your recipe sounds easy enough.....I'm going to pin it for future reference.
