Bread Pudding Recipes

We love it when we come across recipes that make use of ingredients we already have lying around the house, which is why these amazing bread pudding recipes are some of our all-time favorites. Bread pudding is a timeless dessert, which is why our Old-Fashioned Bread Pudding (page 1) is one of our best. You woud've sworn we grabbed it straight out of Grandma's cookbook. The sweet tooths in the family are going to love when you tell them they can have dessert for breakfast with our mouth-watering recipe for Donut Bread Pudding (page 2). It's one of those recipes that'll light up everyone's faces when you make it as a surprise treat on Sunday morning. Plus, for a show-stopping dessert number, be sure to check out our unique recipe for Pink Lemonade Bread Pudding (page 5). Trust us--you'll want to reuse this glaze on every other dessert you make in the summer.

Rice Pudding Recipes

Rice pudding is one of those fancy desserts you usually only order if you're eating out at a nice restaurant, right? Well, we're changing all that with these at-home simple pudding recipes that are simply divine. Fall flavors are some of the most popular every year, which is why we've adapted a classic rice pudding recipe to fit the theme with our Creamy Rice & Apple Pudding (page 7). It's even great to take with you to the office and reheat to get the whole kitchen smelling like fall. If you're looking for the epitome of simple, then you've got to check out our 5-ingredient recipe for Baked Rice Pudding (page 9). It's a surefire way to get this New England classic on the dinner table! And if you're looking to fancy things up, then our Hotel Rice Pudding (page 10) is right up your alley. We like serving them in sophisticated sundae dishes to really sell the presentation.

Fruity Pudding Recipes

There's nothing more refreshing than a burst of fruity flavor at the end of a meal, wouldn't you agree? (Plus, we won't tell if you sneak a few spoonfuls while you're prepping!) I mean, who wouldn't want to end a meal with a serving of Caramel Sea Salt Banana Pudding (page 11)? It's a sweet and salty dessert that is absolutely addictive. You may even want to skip straight to dinner! We always like adding a bit of sunshine to our day, and that's exactly what you'll get from our classic Lemon Pudding (page 13). You won't even be able to stop yourself from smiling after you take a bite! Plus, if you've been searching all over for the perfect fall dessert, check out our Pumpkin Pudding (page 15). It's almost like having the ability to take your pumpkin pie on the go, so how can you go wrong?!

Chocolate Pudding Recipes

That's right--it's the moment you've all been waiting for: chocolate time. There are some days where you really just need to relax and enjoy a big ol' helping of chocolate. And unlike other desserts that skimp out on the rich chocolate-y flavor, these puddings are chock-ful of chocolate in every single bite. For a caffeinated edge, check out our Cappuccino Twist (page 17). It's a great late-night dessert when you need to stay up for a few more hours and need to recharge. If you're looking for a classy dessert to serve during the holidays, our Decadent Chocolate Pudding (page 19) is a traditional Christmas favorite that'll please everyone at the party. If one dessert isn't quite enough for you, then we've got just the solution with our ultimate dessert combination: Chocolate Cookie Pudding (page 20). Bring this one out for the crowd, and you'll be the hero for the night.
