Vanilla Ice Cream French Toast Bread Pudding Recipe

Vanilla Ice Cream French Toast Bread Pudding, is about as decadent as you can get for a breakfast treat. As the owner of the largest sweet tooth in the world, I must admit that ice-cream isn’t one of my favorite go-to treats. Especially vanilla ice cream. However, vanilla is pretty much the only flavor the Mr. will eat. Typically, after having a couple servings, weeks apart, he’s done with it. Even if it is just plain old vanilla I don’t like tossing it out. My solution is to repurpose it, and my favorite way is with breakfast foods. This recipe has a double dose of vanilla ice cream. I used ice cream to make the French Toast and again for the custard in the bread pudding. It’s a lot I know, but it’s so good! I didn’t start out with the intention of making a bread pudding with the French Toast. It was left over from breakfast a few days prior so I was repurposing it as well as the ice cream. It worked out good because after it’s stint in the fridge the French Toast had firmed up making it more receptive to the custard needed for the bread pudding. When I made the French Toast I doubled the recipe because Gabbi was spending the weekend with us. Just so happens French Toast wasn’t her thing that weekend and that’s why we had leftovers. Tweens, go figure. There isn’t much additional sugar in the final product. With the sugar in the French Toast plus that in the ice cream I figured that was plenty. Serve the French Toast Bread Pudding with a light drizzle of maple sugar and a dusting of powdered sugar if you like.

If it soaks too long it will burn before the inside has a chance to cook.
