Easy Bread Pudding with Blackberries
Easy Bread Pudding with Blackberries combines country bread cubes with juicy blackberries soaked in a rich custard of cream, half-and-half, eggs, sugar, and warm spices. This dessert bakes to a bubbly golden top with a slightly jiggly center, offering a comforting texture contrast between the tender bread and bursts of fresh or frozen berries. It’s a satisfying treat that can be prepared ahead with an extended refrigeration step to soak the bread well.

Ingredients
- 1 pound country bread cut into 1-inch cubes (1 loaf, good
- 2 cups blackberry fresh or frozen
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 cups half-and-half or whole milk
- 8 egg large
- 2 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions
- Place the bread cubes and blackberries in a 9 x 13 baking dish and toss to distribute the blackberries evenly.
- In a large bowl, whisk the remaining ingredients together into a frothy custard base.
- Pour the custard over the bread cubes. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake uncovered for 1 hour and 15 minutes, until golden and bubbly. The bread pudding should still be a little jiggly in the middle. All it to cool for 20 minutes before serving. (If the top starts to get too dark, place a piece of loose foil over it while baking.) Serve warm.
