Warm Orange Cranberry Bread Pudding with a gooey custard-like center and a crispy top is a delicious dessert everyone would love. Top it with orange glaze while serving.
This simple and classic Bread Pudding is a childhood favourite. With a gooey soft centre and crusty top, the flavours are simple. In this Orange Cranberry Bread Pudding, I swapped raisin with cranberries. Add fresh orange zest and juice to lift the flavours.

I remember my mom whipping up this in just 10 minutes with a couple of day-old bread for a quick dessert. There were no precise measurements she used to follow. She used to make sure the bread pieces are well soaked with milk and egg mixture.

Place the bread slices in the container the way you want it to be. Either you can layer them horizontally or in a circular pattern as shown in the above picture.
- While placing the bread slices throw few cranberries here and there along with candied orange.
- Pour the prepared egg mixture into the dish and let it sit for at least for one hour and up to overnight. Scatter remaining cranberries and candied orange.
