Single-Serve Bread Pudding

There are always days when I want a little something more after dinner; something to satisfy my sweet-tooth. 

Why not bread pudding?

Orange-Coconut Bread Pudding
1. Grab a mixing bowl and add the following:
1 egg
2 tablespoons of sugar
1 tablespoon of milk
Splash of Vanilla 
1 teaspoon of Orange Juice
2. Take whatever bread or roll you have lying around your house and chunk it up. I used the odd remaining kaiser roll from last night's dinner. Make the pieces bite sized and easy to fork. Throw them all in a microwave safe mug.
3. Pour the egg-mixture over the bread and give it a good couple of stirs to get all of the bread mushy and wet. 
4. Add about a handful or so of coconut (whatever suits you) into the mixture and combine it with the soggy bread.
5. Pop that bad boy in the microwave for 2-3 minutes or until the bread has become slightly crunchy on top.
6. Top with delicious cream-cheese icing and Enjoy!

Sauces


SAUCES

What can you top a Muffie with?

A delicious sauce? 
SOUNDS GOOD

BLUEBERRY BUTTER

1- 1 1/2 Cups of blueberries

1. Brown the butter in a small sauce pan over medium heat.

2. Add sugar and incorporate into the butter.

REMOVE FROM HEAT 
(cause the firefighters showed up at my house when the smoke alarm went off)
4. Add the blueberries, smash and stir together with butter.
5. Serve! 


Cream Cheese Icing
Ingredients: 
7-8 Tablespoons of Powdered Sugar
1 Teaspoon milk
2-3 Tablespoons of Whipped Cream Cheese
