3. Banana Foster Bread Pudding
We absolutely love Banana Foster, which is a dessert that originated from New Orleans. Sweet bananas that have been caramelized with sugar and butter, then dressed in rum and served with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. Bread pudding seems like the perfect place to reconstructed this beloved dessert. You’ll want to prepare the Banana Foster first and reserve half of the sauce for drizzling on top of the bread pudding later.
Nestling the bananas among the pieces of bread will ensure everything cooks in an even layer and the sugar doesn’t burn. Finally, make sure you lightly thaw your ice cream 10 minutes before you’re planning on serving the bread pudding as there’s nothing worse than having some warm banana pudding but the ice cream is still rock solid. For an even more banana-y twist, use leftover banana bread if you have!
