Hawaiian Roll Bread Pudding

It's so fun to play with ingredients to make one-of-a-kind bread pudding. At it again, I created a bread pudding with a creamy bit of a tart twist. Incorporating buttermilk and cream cheese is surprisingly delicious! King's® Hawaiian rolls makes it especially yummy!

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Mix milk, sugar, buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon together in a large mixing bowl until well combined.

Step 3

Tear each roll into 6 pieces. Add bread to the mixing bowl with raisins; mix gently until just moistened. Pinch bits of cream cheese over the bread mixture and fold in. Pour into the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
