Summer Bread Pudding Cups with Blackberries and White Chocolate Limoncello Sauce
Earlier in the day I found these giant blackberries and just had to bring some home. They are the inspiration for my Summer Bread Pudding Cups with Blackberries and White Chocolate Limoncello Sauce.
These bread pudding cups are a simple and comforting dessert , yet decadent at the same time.
The combination of juicy blackberries in a rich bread custard, drizzled with a white chocolate sauce laced with limoncello, definitely fits the bill.
I can’t wait for you to taste it! Yum!

What a beautiful dessert! I love bread puddings because they are so versatile. They can be great desserts (like yours) or you can use them as a base for a delicious entree, such as a Strata. Even the vulgar side dish called stuffing is a type of bread pudding!
Thank you! They really are versatile and yummy! I will share my Mom’s cornbread stuffing in a few months it could change you mind about stuffing!
When I say vulgar, I only mean in the sense that stuffing is considered common these days. I love stuffing!
Oh, thank goodness!! Lol!
Btw. Since you’re checking messages, have you ever used dragon’s tail radish pods in cooking? I grew a bunch and can’t find recipes!
I have not heard of them before. But looked it up and it looks like it would be good in salads or stir fry. They are really pretty too. Might be a cool addition to veggie tray or antipasto.
