Roxanne Chan created this rich, creamy bread pudding to mimic the flavors of a favorite bar cookie. Ingredients:
4 cups 1-inch cubes sturdy white bread |
2 bananas (8 oz. total), peeled and sliced crosswise |
1 cup (6 oz.) semisweet chocolate chips |
1/2 cup pecan halves |
1/2 cup prepared caramel sauce, at room temperature |
3 cups milk (whole or 2%) |
3 large eggs |
3 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Arrange bread cubes evenly in a buttered 9-inch square baking pan. Arrange banana slices over bread cubes, then sprinkle with chocolate and nuts. Drizzle caramel sauce evenly over top.
2. In a blender, whirl milk, eggs, cream cheese, and cinnamon until smooth. Pour over bread cubes. Let stand at room temperature 15 minutes.
3. Bake in a 325° regular or convection oven until top is set, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let stand at least 10 minutes after removing from oven, then serve warm.
