I would like to start by admitting this is definitely not a health-food post. I would like to follow that disclaimer up with a, “but oh man, will it knock your socks off.” Not only is it THE EASIEST dessert of all time but definitely one of THE MOST DELICIOUS. I thought it would be a good one to post before Valentine’s Day because who doesn’t want a little something sweet to end the meal AND if you haven’t thought of anything to make yet, this will definitely be the easiest as well as most impressive.

I came up with this recipe when I was helping a good friend (and fellow cook) cater a charity event in Beverly Hills and our bread pudding plans had fallen through. We worked with what we had on site and dare I say this turned out even better than the bread pudding ever could have??

Tip: I usually serve a few croutons warm over ice cream and then leave out a bowl with more for snacking, dipping, etc.
