Happy New Year! Wow, 2011 was a quick year.
Is it just me? I want to do a re-cap, but seriously, this year whooshed by so quickly I’m not even sure I remember what happened! A few noteworthy memories…
- Cupcake celebrated her first birthday!
- My duck, Banana Sandwich, celebrated her first birthday too!
- The Pescetarian and the Pig was created 🙂
- My duck, Peanut, passed away 🙁
- Santa got me a Copper Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer for Christmas. Oh rapture!
Pretzel Roll Bread Pudding
Ingredients:
- 4 Trader Joe’s Pretzel Rolls
- 1 Cup Heavy Cream
- 1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter, Melted
- 1/2 Cup White Sugar
- 4 Whole Eggs
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 Cup Dried Cranberries
- 1/2 Cup Raw, Unsalted Walnut Pieces
- A pinch of Sea Salt
- Half & Half and Caramel Sauce for serving
Preheat oven to 350º. Put Pretzel Rolls into an 8×8 glass baking dish.
I poked a bunch of holes in these with a skewer. Then I pushed a big hole into the center of each with my finger.
Mix together cream, sugar, butter, cinnamon, vanilla, and eggs until well blended. Pour over the top of the rolls and sprinkle with cranberries and walnuts.
Place in the oven for 35 minutes in the center rack. The walnuts and cranberries will toast nicely.
Sprinkle with sea salt. Serve warm or chill in the fridge. These rolls themselves will still be fairly dry, but that makes for a nice texture when you serve them topped with a splash of Half & Half and some caramel sauce!
Truly delicious…
And Cupcake loved it too…
Happy New Year, everyone!
