Learn how to make this decadent Raspberry White Chocolate Bread Pudding! It’s perfect for Valentine’s Day or anytime you’re craving a sweet treat!
Are you starting to think about Valentine’s Day yet or is it too early?
I have to admit that it’s one of my favorite holidays. As the year drew to a close, I was already thinking about what was next (i.e., plenty of hearts, glitter, and sweet treats).
Some of this is because I’m a blogger. I can’t exactly post a Valentine’s Day recipe on February 14 and expect that anyone will make it. But, I also just love Valentine’s Day! It’s fun and sweet, and I enjoy coming up with recipes and projects to celebrate the day.
I really loved the Mediterranean Strata that I shared recently. It turned out even better than I thought it would, so naturally, I decided it would be fun to do a sweet bread pudding version. Told you I was thinking ahead!
This delicious Raspberry White Chocolate Bread Pudding recipe is the result.

How to Make White Chocolate Bread Pudding
Have you ever made bread pudding before?
If not, you may be surprised by how simple this Raspberry White Chocolate Bread Pudding recipe is … no tricky steps required. Seriously, it couldn’t be much easier!
You’ll simply layer together cubed bread, fresh raspberries, and white chocolate chips. Then, an egg, sugar, and milk mixture gets poured over the top, and everything gets refrigerated.
Refrigerating the White Chocolate Bread Pudding overnight allows the milk mixture to soak into the bread before you bake it. Thus ensuring you get a tender bread pudding.
After refrigerating the bread pudding for at least fours hours, it gets baked.
I love how the raspberries hold their shape and the white chocolate chips melt into the rich custard that holds this Raspberry White Chocolate Bread Pudding together. It’s so pretty and delicious!
This Raspberry White Chocolate Bread Pudding recipe serves a crowd, perfect for a family meal or brunch with friends.
If you’re not serving a big group, try cutting the recipe in half or freezing the leftovers.
Honestly though, it’s hard for me to imagine you’ll have problems eating the whole batch … it’s that good!
This Raspberry White Chocolate Bread Pudding recipe is fairly flexible, too. Try substituting strawberries for the raspberries or regular chocolate chips (or dark chocolate chunks) for the white chocolate.
Any way you make it, this easy bread pudding is sure to become a favorite recipe!
