I thought we could share some of our dessert recipes here. Even experimental ones.
lol
What are your favorites?
Dawn (dawn27) gave me a simple recipe for bread pudding which I was craving and it came out great! I just tweaked it and added a can of apples and a teaspoon of cinnamon.
Bread Pudding:
1 loaf texas toast bread (tear or cubed)
I used Hawaiian sweet bread instead.
put in buttered or sprayed glass baking dish (9x13)
1 qt. half n half dairy
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 C brown sugar
3 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
Mix all wet ingredients until well incorporated and pour over bread. Let soak up until all bread is well soaked and has absorbed all of the wet ingredients. (about a half hour) Rotating mixture every 10 mins. to assure total and equal coverage.
Bake at 350 deg. for 35-40 min. until golden brown on edges.
Cut a large piece for yourself while still warm, place in a bowel sprinkle with sugar and add milk. Enjoy !
Must be refrigerated but can be warmed back up in the microwave.
Now my sister just gave me a recipe for a blueberry coffee cake that is going in the oven tonight.
Don't mind my lazy style lattice work.
