Directions
Blueberry Cream Cheese Bread Pudding, Do we love blueberries! I am not much of a dessert chef, but I sure can whip up a good bread pudding and this one is one of our favorites Cooks Notes: You can use fat-free half-and-half and reduced-fat cream cheese and it still is wonderful , Delicious! A superb, fresh twist on an old favorite The tart berries contrast sharply with the sweet cream cheese, and every bite is different: sweet, tart, creamy, crunchy, moist, dry, light, dense The only thing that kept it from reaching the 5-star rating was the odd consistency of the egg mixture after cooking It was a bit curdly/grainy–easily forgiven though It may have been caused by the way I baked it, as the recipe was confusing Initially, it has you preheating the oven to 425, but later directs it to be baked at 350 After researching a few similar recipes I decided on 350, 30 min covered with foil then 30 min uncovered There were a few areas I might change next time First, use a THREE quart baking pan! used the recommended 2-qt and it was filled right to the rim and thus spilled For the bread, used regular French, crusts on, and smashed it flat before cubing to obtain a dense consistency It was perfect The blueberries were very tart If you like that contrast, keep it as is If you prefer sweeter berries, using frozen or canned in syrup might result in a sweeter dessert Finally, serve with a dollop of Cool Whip! All in all, this is one heck of a dessert I will have ample opportunities to try variations, as it was even suggested I make it my, Excellent and very simple to put together LOTS of blueberries, too This is a definte keeper
