Cookie Butter Bread Pudding, bread soaked in an eggy cookie butter mixture and then baked with white chocolate chips, making for an indulgent and amazing dessert.
Cookie butter and bread pudding are two of my weaknesses. I love both more than is actually reasonable. So of course combining them made total sense. Watch out for this dessert, it’s not easy to have just a little.

What is Cookie Butter
Cookie Butter is a spread that is made from speculaas cookies. It is similar in consistency to peanut butter but much sweeter. It is absolutely delicious and I love eating it with a spoon.
In the words of my wonderful friend, Joan:
“It is a jar full of unicorn tears and ground up deliciousness that tastes like it was made in Narnia”

Best Bread for Bread Pudding
My favorite bread to use for bread pudding is brioche. That being said, challah and French bread. You will want to make sure that you use dried out bread. It will make it easier for it to absorb the custard and get the end result you are looking for.
Serving
I like serving this with a little whipped cream on top. But honestly that isn’t totally necessary and it is fantastic on its own. Bread pudding can be served both warm and cold, it is just a matter of personal preference.
Storing
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to five days. Store in the refrigerator. As with all leftovers, use your best discretion.

I want this RIGHT NOW. Cookie Butter is my favorite.
Thanks Karly! I’ve affectionally named my muffin top, “Cookie Butter” since that’s where it came from. Though it’s nickname is “Wine.” :)

What is bun bread? Slider buns? Are these the Hawaiian sweet rolls? Can you use French bread? Thank you!
Like the slider buns that you would find in the bakery section of your grocery store. You can use French bread, but I would go for a baguette that isn’t as crunchy on the outside. Maybe an Italian loaf without the sesame seeds.

Thank you for responding! I can’t wait to try this!

Hi, looks amazing, I’m in the UK could you tell me roughly in grams how heavy a cup of bun bread is? Also how many choc chips they’re not listed in the ingredients. Thanks Rachel x
Rachel, I’m so sorry, I have absolutely no idea. And thank you for pointing out the chocolate chips error! It’s one cup of white chocolate chips.

Has anyone ever tried this with semi sweet chocolate chips as I’m not a huge fan of white chocolate
These would be great with chocolate chips! Go for it!
