Creole Bread Pudding with rum sauce is a traditional New Orleans dessert that has been popular amongst locals for many generations. The dish is typically served at family events, parties, and holidays as it makes for a sweet treat to end any occasion. Many locals will swear by their mother’s recipe for the best bread pudding in town, and I’m no different! Growing up in New Orleans, my mom’s creole bread pudding with rum sauce was my favorite.
