Cranberry Orange Panettone Bread Pudding
Cranberry Orange Panettone Bread Pudding is a delightful combination of savory and sweet flavors. It’s refreshingly decadent and filled with bursts of berries and citrus. This incredibly easy-to-make dessert is a family favorite and a crowd pleaser – it serves 12, so it’s prefect to make for large gatherings.
In my opinion, the panettone from Farm to Market Bread Co. is the best for making this bread pudding recipe. They are based in Kansas City, MO but will ship all over. I order their panettone and have it delivered to my home in Texas every year for the holidays.
What You Will Need:
- Panettone – Panettone is a tall, dome shaped Italian sweet bread. It’s delicate and airy with a sweet, rich flavor. This bread is typically prepared and enjoyed for Christmas and New Year.
- Eggs
- Heavy Cream
- Whole Milk
- Sugar
- Limoncello Glaze– optional topping
Let’s Make Cranberry Orange Panettone Bread Pudding!
I’m more of a cook than a baker, so I love that this delicious bread pudding recipe is simple to make. This dessert is tried-and-true and a family staple in our home every year around Christmas and New Year.
Start with a loaf of panettone bread. First, chop the bread into cubes and place them in a greased baking pan. In a large mixing bowl, add eggs, heavy cream, milk, and sugar. Mix well than pour the mixture over the cubes of bread. Let everything sit and soak for about 30 minutes then put in the oven to bake.
For an added citrus flavor, sometimes I make a Limoncello glaze to pour on top of the bread pudding. Limoncello is an Italian lemon flavored liqueur. The Limoncello glaze isn’t necessary, but it adds another burst of citrus and makes this dessert even sweeter. To make the glaze, combine Limoncello, powdered sugar, butter, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a a saucepan and heat until dissolved. Spoon Limoncello glaze over each serving.
