This gluten-free chocolate and raspberry bread pudding consists of four raspberry jam and chocolate hazelnut spread sandwiches put together with a dairy-free custard. And it’s absolutely BONKERS. It's the best dessert I've made in ages!
I originally made this back in 2012 shortly after we moved to the Boston area. I was beginning to experiment in the kitchen and cook for myself, and for Dylan. Bread pudding looked like a treat for a special occasion, so I tried it out using gluten-free bread. Using this recipe, I made adaptations using gluten-free bread and dairy-free milk, but it took some time to find the right bread for it!
Note:
When I originally made this recipe, I used Udi's bread and didn't have much luck. The bread was extremely small and dense, and it didn't absorb much of the custard. This time, I used Canyon gluten-free bread and it was a significant improvement. I would also recommend Schar gluten-free bread for this recipe!

Dairy-Free
To make this dairy-free, you'll need to use dairy-free milk, and dairy-free chocolate spread. Nutella is gluten-free but contains milk. I find melting about ¼ cup of Enjoy Life Foods dairy-free chocolate chips works great!
This recipe is also perfect for Valentine's Day - and hey, I won't judge if you decide you want to have a bowl of it for breakfast! I definitely have.

Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Chocolate Raspberry Bread Pudding
Gluten-Free Bread Pudding
A decadent treat for dessert - or maybe breakfast. Shh, I won't tell.
Recipe Adapted From Evil Shenanigans
Ingredients
- 8 slices gluten-free bread
- ¼ cup or more of raspberry jam, gluten-free
- ¼ cup or more chocolate hazelnut spread,
- 1 ½ cups milk of choice
- ⅓ cup of sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Coconut oil, to grease the pan
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a baking pan (9x11, 9x9, or 8x8) with coconut oil.
Make 4 raspberry jam and chocolate spread sandwiches. Spread a portion of the raspberry jam on one piece of bread, and then do the same with chocolate on the other. Put the two pieces of bread together, then using a knife, cut into small cubes.
Place the sandwich cubes into the greased pan. Nestle them together good and close!
In a small bowl, combine the milk, eggs, vanilla, and sugar. Whisk until smooth, then pour over bread evenly. Dust with additional sugar if desired (this step is encouraged)! Let stand for 10 minutes to allow the liquid to absorb into the bread.
Bake the bread pudding in the oven for 35 minutes, adding 5 more minutes if custard still needs to set. Allow the pudding to rest for ten minutes before eating, but it will be hard to resist.
Drizzle with additional chocolate if desired, or top with fresh raspberries. Serve warm and enjoy! The bread pudding will keep in the refrigerator for a few days. Be sure to tightly cover and then reheat when you'd like another piece!

Chocolate-Hazelnut Spread
