Not only is this Guava Bread Pudding sweet, golden and delicious, but it’s versatile too. You can have it for breakfast, a mid-afternoon snack, or as a dessert.
This bread pudding turned out fantastic and it is best served warm. If you can’t serve it right away, heat it up before you do. It is wonderful with vanilla ice cream on top.
Buen provecho!
