Ingredients

  • 1 can (20 ounces) unsweetened pineapple chunks, undrained
  • 10 cups cubed dinner rolls (about 17 rolls)
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • SAUCE:
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Drain pineapple, reserving 1/3 cup juice. Place half of the bread cubes in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and confectioners' sugar until smooth; drop by tablespoonfuls over bread cubes. Top with remaining bread cubes and pineapple.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, cream, vanilla and reserved pineapple juice until blended; pour over pineapple. Refrigerate, covered, several hours or overnight.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°. Remove bread pudding from refrigerator while oven heats. Bake, uncovered, until lightly browned, 25-35 minutes.
  4. In a small saucepan, heat milk and butter until butter is melted. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Just before serving, drizzle over warm bread pudding.
