Recipe View Pour the warm vanilla sauce generously over the warm bread pudding slices, or serve it on the side in a separate bowl for dipping.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider soaking the raisins in rum or bourbon for a few hours before adding them to the bread pudding mixture.
Feel free to substitute the raisins with other dried fruits, such as cranberries, cherries, or chopped apricots.
If you prefer a richer, more decadent bread pudding, use heavy cream instead of whole milk.
To make ahead, assemble the bread pudding but don't bake it. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add 10-15 minutes to the baking time.
The vanilla sauce can also be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
