Cinnamon Cream Cheese Bread Pudding
Introduction
Cinnamon Cream Cheese Bread Pudding is a warm, soft, and comforting dessert made with pieces of bread, creamy filling, cinnamon sugar, and a sweet syrup drizzle. It is perfect for breakfast, brunch, family gatherings, or a cozy dessert after dinner.
Ingredients
- 6 cups bread cubes
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cream cheese, cut into small cubes
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- Honey or maple syrup for serving
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F. Grease a baking dish with butter.
Place the bread cubes in the baking dish. Add the cream cheese pieces between the bread cubes so every slice will have a creamy center.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the bread. Press the bread down gently so it absorbs the liquid.
Drizzle the melted butter over the top. Sprinkle with brown sugar and a little extra cinnamon to create a golden, sweet crust.

Let the mixture rest for 15 minutes before baking. This helps the bread become soft and rich.
Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Drizzle honey or maple syrup over the warm bread pudding before serving.
Serving
Serve warm with extra syrup, whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or fresh fruit. It is especially delicious with coffee or tea.
Conclusion
This Cinnamon Cream Cheese Bread Pudding is creamy, sweet, and full of comforting cinnamon flavor. Its golden top, soft center, and rich cream cheese filling make it a wonderful dessert for any special occasion.
