This Tiramisu Bread Pudding (gluten-free!) is the perfect after-dinner dish for a crowd. It’s a simple-yet-rich dessert reminiscent of it’s more complicated tiramisu sibling. It’s one of those recipes you’ll to come back to again and again.
This post was in partnership with and sponsored by Canyon Bakehouse. All opinions, thoughts and content creation are my own.
I used to make bread pudding ALL the time (anyone remember this pumpkin-rum version?). I don’t know why I got out of the habit! It’s deceptively easy to make – you literally cannot mess it up – yet beautiful and delicious to serve.
Vegas and I both have a giant sweet tooth, but Vegas has a gluten intolerance that means bread pudding isn’t the best idea. When Canyon Bakehouse sent me a box of their gluten-free bread, I knew it was high time I start making bread pudding again!
One of the things that turn Vegas off from most gluten-free bread is that they are frozen. It’s a pain to thaw and the texture is never right. Canyon Bakehouse saved the day with their a new stay-fresh packaging! Their bread will stay fresh in this packaging 90 DAYS from when it was packaged in their bakery! Not having to thaw a whole loaf of bread to make this recipe is amazing.
Side note: if you see their everything bagels or the mini brownie bites, you must buy them.
Vegas and I decided to make a tiramisu bread pudding because a) we love bread pudding AND tiramisu and b) tiramisu seems like too much effort. If you’ve ever made bread pudding, you know that it’s stupid-easy and incredibly delicious. We were having two big guys over for dinner, so having a larger dessert seemed like a good idea. Boys eat SO much!
As I was mixing the batter for the bread pudding, I stuck my finger in it to taste (I don’t know how I haven’t died from salmonella by now) and immediately got excited. If it tasted as good baked as the batter did, then this was going to be a huge win!
After baking was an epic result. The bread was custardy and moist (that’s right, I said it) without being soggy. Hints of boozy coffee were woven into every bite. The melty chocolate pieces were perfection. Topped off with cool, fresh whipped cream, this really is heaven in your mouth.
The glaze is optional, but I liked the extra touch of cinnamon sweetness. There’s not a ton of sugar in this recipe. Adding the extra won’t give you a toothache! Side of coffee liquor NOT optional. 😉

I definitely sat on the floor and ate the piece I cut. With the liquor. At 1 pm.
Have you ever made bread pudding?
Are you a tiramisu fan?

I love bread pudding and tiramisu so perfect combo! I couldn’t wait to see this since you teased us with it on instagram! It is not a disappointment!
Laura says
Yay!!! I bet it could be waffled too. 😉
P.S. Thanks for the baked egg shout out! Your blog thinks I’m a bot again today. 🙁
Allie says
If it’s “stupid easy” then I’m IN!! This would actually be great to make for the Super Bowl because yes, guys eat a ton and we have two gluten free friends who would die for this.
Laura says
I always think of you when I write something like that. It’s my “what would Allie say” test. LOL!
Kate says

Laura says

My mom would love this recipe, she’s into bread pudding! I made a dessert for a crowd over the weekend — my very first carrot cake. It’s my aunt’s birthday & she’s in town, & it’s her favorite dessert so I gave it a whirl. Came out pretty good! It’s fun trying out new big dessert recipes, I just feel like I need a crowd to come over so that I don’t eat it all myself 😉
Laura says
It looked really good! That was the go-to birthday cake when I was a kid. We HAD to use my grandmother’s recipe. I haven’t made it in years though!

im not a huge bread pudding person but i have been pleasantly surprised by some…this tiramisu version will be amazing i can already tell.
Laura says
Thanks! I like this one because it’s not too mushy/soggy. I can’t do that texture!
GiGi Eats says
If I could dive naked into this dish, I totally would! But then no one else would want to eat it because…. Naked GiGi? Eh, I don’t give two Fs because I don’t like sharing my food ANYWAYS! tee he he he! That being said, I have actually NEVER had bread pudding before in my life!
Laura says
Maybe that should be on our video…
Mary says
My mouth is watering just looking at this bread pudding, seriously I need this in my life right now. I used to make bread pudding all the time too, that was back when I was 300+ pounds, the good old days where I could care less about calorie counting and sweating like a crazy woman. Hi Vegas 🙂 I know she loved this recipe.
Laura says
I can’t even believe you were 300 lbs! I think you’d like this one… definitely, one to share though. I can’t be trusted alone with a whole pan of bread pudding!

I’ve made Tiramisu French Toast before, but never bread pudding–that’ll have to be next for sure! (I’m glad you didn’t die of salmonella, haha.) I can’t wait to try this out!! *-*
Jen @ Chase the Red Grape says
Yes. One hundred and ten percent yes! Also the ideal brunch dish!
