Cafe Mocha Bread Pudding with Caramel Rum Sauce

Ultra-moist coffee-spiked bread pudding is a match made in heaven with chocolate and a heavenly homemade caramel rum sauce.—A coffee-lover’s dream dessert!

Oh man, guys. I’m clearly out to get your diet today. And we were doing SO good this week up until I met the bread pudding that clearly fell from heaven.

…theeeeen…Friday rolled around and I invited you to join me in my new favorite addiction.

Our new favorite addiction. I’ll share with y’all. Maybe?

Alrighty guys, first things first. Let’s talk about the pudding. It’s so so SO simple to make, and yet it tastes like it came from a fancy-schmancy coffeehouse. Ultra-custardy, moist, and absolutely reminds me of a cafe mocha.

You know…as much as bread pudding can. There’s an entire cup of brewed coffee inside the pudding alone, so there’s that. ♥

Then came the sauce. I mean, the bread pudding is amazing on it’s own, but let’s be truthful here: Caramel. Rum. Sauce. Few words need to be said about that, but I WILL give you a friendly piece of advice which involves hiding all your spoons from yourself.

Slightly boozy and full-on caramel-y, this stuff is pure liquid gold and purely dangerous. Seriously.

Friends, let me emphasize a  few very important points before I leave you to your bread pudding business.

A) You must devour this pudding warm. It is the bombety-BOMB.com warm and every luscious bite totally melts in your mouth. Do it.

B) You simply must include literal rivers of the aforespoken caramel rum sauce. Taking it aaaaaaaall the way, guys.

C) Lastly and most importantly, you must eat all of this bread pudding in the day it is made. Preferably within minutes, because hello, anticipation! It’s really not nearly as good after one day, but I honestly don’t think you’re going to have a problem with this one, peeps.

I mean, I basically just gave you permission to eat bread pudding for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and midnight snack today.

Friday, consider yourself WON!
