Overnight Tiramisu Bread Pudding: A Decadent Breakfast or Dessert
Indulge in the rich and comforting flavors of our Overnight Tiramisu Bread Pudding. This easy-to-make recipe transforms stale bread into a luxurious treat that’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. Imagine waking up to the aroma of coffee-soaked bread, creamy custard, and a hint of cocoa – it’s a truly irresistible experience.
This bread pudding cleverly combines the classic flavors of tiramisu with the ease of a make-ahead breakfast. Cubes of slightly stale bread soak overnight in a mixture of espresso, coffee liqueur (optional, of course!), eggs, milk, and a touch of sugar. This ensures that every bite is infused with the bold coffee flavor and a delightfully custardy texture.
The key to a great overnight bread pudding is the soak time. Letting the bread sit in the custard overnight allows it to fully absorb the liquid, resulting in a moist and tender pudding. No one likes a dry bread pudding! This step also makes it incredibly convenient – simply assemble everything the night before and bake it fresh in the morning.
Before baking, the soaked bread is generously topped with a creamy mascarpone mixture. This layer adds a tangy richness that perfectly complements the coffee flavors. Once baked, the pudding is dusted with cocoa powder, just like a traditional tiramisu, adding a touch of bitterness that balances the sweetness beautifully.
Our Overnight Tiramisu Bread Pudding is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Serve it warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat. Feel free to experiment with different types of bread, such as challah or brioche, for a unique twist. This recipe is easily customizable to your taste preferences. Whether you’re looking for an elegant brunch option or a show-stopping dessert, this bread pudding is sure to impress. Prepare to be amazed by the effortless elegance and incredible flavor of this overnight sensation!
