Rainbow Bread Pudding
You know how it goes, the kids suddenly decide that ‘crusts’ are awful so all sandwiches must be crust-less. In the case of King’s Hawaiian Rainbow Bread the crusts just seemed too pretty to throw away.
Rainbow Bread is crazy and fun multi-colored bread found at a lot of Hawaiian bakeries. Luckily it’s also available here in Los Angeles, made fresh daily at the King’s Hawaiian bakery in Torrance.
These little ramekins of sweetness are sure to brighten your day and make you dream of island life.
Rainbow Bread Pudding
Ingredients:
approx. 8 cups of bread crusts, cubed
2-1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 eggs
1 Tablespoon vanilla
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch of salt
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Step 2: Grease 8 small single serving ramekins with melted butter or nonstick spray. Place on a baking sheet.
Step 3: Equally portion out the cubed bread crusts into the buttered ramekins. Set aside.
Step 4: In a bowl, whisk the milk, heavy cream, eggs, and vanilla. Stir in the sugar, cinnamon and salt.
Step 5: Carefully pour the custard over the bread in each ramekin. Keep pouring and let the bread soak it up.
Step 6: Bake for 25-30 minutes, let cool slightly and serv with whipped cream.
I wouldn’t give the kids any… “Oh nooo, you don’t LIKE crusts!” lol
How fun is this??? I’ve never, ever seen this stuff!! Love it.
Wow, I love this, just beautiful! I have never seen the rainbow bread, but I wonder if we could make some rainbow bread at home. Such a fun kid friendly dish:-)
Take care, Terra
I used to love rainbow bread! I would spend time doing blind taste tests to see if i could taste the different flavors. So fun that you used it in bread pudding!
I had no idea King’s made rainbow bread! I wish it was sold nationwide!
Such a fun & colorful bread pudding.
We are in our final week of Get Grillin’ – Dessert is the theme and we would love if you submitted up to any 3 recipes (they don’t have to be grilled) to our link up. This one would be perfect! This week we have a Rouxbe Cooking School giveaway. http://su.pr/2YaIiV
I’ve never seen the King’s Hawaiian rainbow bread before, only the rolls. Maybe I can find some in SF (fingers crossed).
Your bread pudding looks delicious just like everything else you make.
What a fun and colorful bread pudding! So glad you didn’t waste those crusts! I actually host a “Bread Pudding of the Month Club” on my blog. Would love it if you came on by and linked up your post for this month’s roundup 🙂 Here is the link: http://www.mission-food.com/2011/07/bread-pudding-roundup-june-2011.html
