I got to the grocery late on Father’s Day, and all the things I would have bought were gone. Sucks to be me. I looked and saw chocolate donut holes on the table. I had an idea: I haven’t made bread pudding in a long while. So I added some dried cherries to break up the sweetness and kept the sugar to a low level and baked it until crispy on top. Topped with some whipped cream. I hope you like it.
