Let’s Make Cranberry Orange Panettone Bread Pudding!

I’m more of a cook than a baker, so I love that this delicious bread pudding recipe is simple to make. This dessert is tried-and-true and a family staple in our home every year around Christmas and New Year.

Start with a loaf of panettone bread. First, chop the bread into cubes and place them in a greased baking pan. In a large mixing bowl, add eggs, heavy cream, milk, and sugar. Mix well than pour the mixture over the cubes of bread. Let everything sit and soak for about 30 minutes then put in the oven to bake.

For an added citrus flavor, sometimes I make a Limoncello glaze to pour on top of the bread pudding. Limoncello is an Italian lemon flavored liqueur. The Limoncello glaze isn’t necessary, but it adds another burst of citrus and makes this dessert even sweeter. To make the glaze, combine Limoncello, powdered sugar, butter, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a a saucepan and heat until dissolved. Spoon Limoncello glaze over each serving.
