In conjunction with Cold Storage Singapore, we whipped up a deliciously sweet pastry that brings on our local most favorite sweet kaya jam in a bread and butter pudding for National Day ! Cold Storage Singapore actually stocks a variety of recipes online for the various occasions and it’s quite the first time that I am being aware of that too !
With the long weekend over the Nation’s birthday, I guess most of us would be wanting to make use of the time to try out one or another recipe to serve up our families or guests. This sweet dessert might seem pretty unfriendly on its first look, but it’s actually not as bad as it seems. And you would surely get the hang of it as you proceed on.
While I don’t make my own bread and pudding often at home, but it’s certainly one of the must-have dessert if I were to dine at any international buffets. I have always loved that rich buttery bread being dunked in a sweet pudding infused with warm custard sauce. I was also taken aback when I had my first ever bread and butter pudding previously. For someone who never fancy any warm desserts, this was indeed quite the exceptional.
The encumbrance of the favorite kaya jam further tempts me into wanting to whip up this dessert more. And so with all the ready ingredients from Cold Storage Singapore, I am all good to make this dessert a sweet treat for the holiday break. Here you go !
