Dan and Steve are really great w/'breaking down' a recipe in steps to prepare easily,like this one. We keep frozen Challah on regular basis. This is different than a raisin bread pudding.Refreshing and adjust the level of sweetness accordingly. We Never put All the sugar{s} recommended. This is a great any time of year recipe. I bought 2 of The Hearty Boys cook~books. So glad~ 1 to read through and the other for cooking-baking. Worth both,would buy again!

Have made this at least a dozen times and everyone loves it. I love it because it's simple to whip up earlier in the day and pop it in the oven when we sit down to dinner. I usually top with a whisky sauce instead of the blueberry cream. Someday I might also try this as French Toast...

Very good and light although there is 2 cups of heavy cream and whipped cream on top-the blueberries are great and I think strawberries would work equally as well
