Cookies and Cream Bread Pudding
I'm really digging this breakfast and/or dessert idea. So, last time it was peach parfaits and this time it's cookies and cream bread pudding.
Cookies and cream is a darn good flavor! Add the addition that the cookies are softened in the bread pudding? Yeah, it had to happen. It was only a matter of time.
If you've read any of my cookie recipe posts, I normally mention once or twice that I like my cookies dipped in some sort of beverage. So as you can probably imagine, this is the perfect little treat for me.
..But I had to go just a little bit further with this borderline dessert and add a glaze. You don't mind, do you?
My bread is homemade, but you can just buy a loaf. Actually, I would recommend that you just buy a loaf. It's easier.
And we like easier. In the spirit of trying to be a bit more frugal, I used some bread that was just hanging out.
Where do I find bakery emulsion? I get mine in the cake decorating section of Walmart, A.C. Moore, or Amazon.
What can I use instead of bakery emulsion? Vanilla extract.
Do I need to use chocolate sandwich cookies? Nope! Use whatever flavor sandwich cookie that you love!
