How to Store Bread Pudding. Allow the bread pudding to cool completely after baking. Cover tightly or transfer to a shallow, airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to three days.

It can go straight from the fridge to the oven when you're ready to serve it. (Because it will be cold, it may take an extra minute or two in the oven.) Can I freeze bread pudding? Yep, it's perfectly fine to freeze bread pudding for up to 3 months.

Microwave - heat in increments of 10-15 seconds/or until your desired temperature is reached. Oven - remove bread pudding from the plastic container and place in an oven safe dish. Heat at 250 degrees for 5-7 minutes or until your desired temperature is reached.

Only Cover The Bread Pudding In Oven For Some Of The Time

Making Bread Pudding

It can be enjoyed straight out of the oven or cooled from the refrigerator (although I promise you, warmed-up is way better). I have also heard of a lot of people eating it as a breakfast dish, and I bet it is incredible with maple syrup and berries.

You can freeze it. But if you try to thaw it before eating, it will turn into a terrible texture.

How long can you freeze unbaked bread pudding? ›

It is possible to freeze assembled but unbaked bread and butter puddings. Wrap the dish tightly in a double layer of clingfilm (plastic wrap) and a layer of foil and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw for 24 hours in the fridge and then remove from the fridge 30 minutes before baking, to let it lose its chill.

Not allowing it to rest after baking

It is usual for bread pudding to somewhat collapse when it goes from the oven to the room temperature air, but you surely don't want to further contribute to it becoming flat. Therefore, don't dish it out too quickly.

Use your favorite type of bread, change spices or fruits, add some nuts or chocolate chips, serve with ice cream or a dessert sauce. There's no limit. It also makes a really easy last-minute dessert. Have guests coming over that you didn't expect?
