Best Blueberry Bread Pudding Recipe – Step by Step Guide
Ingredients :
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest from about 2 large lemons
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 5 tablespoons salted butter melted and cooled slightly
- 5 large eggs
- 2 ½ cups heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 8 large croissants about 18 ounces
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions :
Warm the oven up to 350°F. Set aside a 9-by-13-inch baking pan that has been greased with butter or cooking spray.
Rub the lemon zest and sugar together with your fingers in a large bowl until they are well mixed and the sugar is moist and smells good.
After adding the eggs, whisk in the melted butter. Mix the vanilla and heavy cream together with a whisk.
Separate the croissants into 1-inch pieces with your hands and place them in the pan that has been prepared. The blueberries should be on top.
Cover the buns with the egg mix. Push the pieces of croissant down gently while stirring very gently to make sure the egg mixture covers all of them evenly. Place it in a warm place, wrap it in foil, and wait 15 minutes.
Leave the paper on top of the bread pudding and bake it in a hot oven for 35 minutes.
Take off the paper and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes to get the top brown. When the custard is set but still soft, the bread pudding is done. If you want, serve with lemon curd.
Notes :
For this recipe, I like fresh blueberries best, but if you don’t have any fresh. you could use frozen instead. Do not let the frozen berries warm before adding them to the custard.
Leftovers can be kept in the fridge for up to three days in a container that doesn’t let air in.
Each serving can be heated up again in the microwave for 30 to 60 seconds. Larger amounts can be heated again in a low oven with foil over them until they are warm all the way through.

Set the oven to a low temperature, about 300 to 325°F, and heat it just until the bread pudding is warm.
