Caribbean Bread Pudding
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 30 min. Cook: 4 hours
YIELD: 16 servings.
A completely unexpected dessert from the slow cooker, my bread pudding is loaded with wonderful tropical flavors. I like to garnish it with a slice of fresh pineapple, whipped cream and a cherry—just like a pina colada! —Elizabeth Doss, California City, California
