It\u2019s brunch and dessert in one glorious casserole \u2014 perfect for Mother\u2019s Day, birthdays, or any day you want something indulgent but wildly comforting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why this one works? It hits texture, temperature, and nostalgia: crunchy toasted coconut on top, custardy bread in the middle, and a silky cheesecake surprise tucked into every bite.

For me, coconut has an emotional tie \u2014 think Mother\u2019s Day and family gatherings. I wanted a bread pudding that tastes like a coconut-forward twist on the classics we grew up with. Add a cheesecake layer? Instant heirloom. That\u2019s how the <strong>Cheesecake Bread Pudding<\/strong> idea was born: comfort food with a dessert-table glow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients \u2014 what each one does (short and useful)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Baguette (1 lb)<\/strong> \u2013 stale or dried; provides the chewy structure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Eggs (5)<\/strong> \u2013 set the custard and make the pudding lush.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cream of coconut (12 oz + 3 oz for the cheesecake)<\/strong> \u2013 key coconut sweetness and body (not coconut milk; this is sweet and thick).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Whole milk (1 cup)<\/strong> \u2013 thins the custard a touch and adds richness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Butter (4 tbsp, melted)<\/strong> \u2013 flavor and mouthfeel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sugar (1\/2 cup)<\/strong> \u2013 balances coconut and egg richness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sweetened coconut flakes (7 oz or more)<\/strong> \u2013 texture and coconut intensity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cream cheese (16 oz, softened)<\/strong> \u2013 the cheesecake ribbon\u2019s base; adds tang and silkiness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Optional extras:<\/strong> vanilla extract, rum or coconut rum splash, toasted pecans or macadamias for crunch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> swap dairy for non-dairy substitutes if needed (see Variations).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to make it \u2014 simple step-by-step<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Dry your bread.<\/strong> Cut the baguette into 1-inch cubes and spread on a rimmed baking sheet. Let sit uncovered 24 hours (or toast at low heat for a few hours if you forgot \u2014 but the slow stale method is best).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prepare the cheesecake mixture.<\/strong> Beat softened cream cheese with 3 oz cream of coconut and 1\/4 cup sugar until smooth. Transfer to a piping bag or zip bag with corner snipped for easy distribution.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make the custard.<\/strong> Whisk together eggs, melted butter, remaining cream of coconut, milk, and 1\/2 cup sugar until silky. Add a splash of vanilla or rum if you want.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Layer.<\/strong> Butter a 9\u00d713 casserole. Spread half the bread cubes in the dish, pipe the cheesecake mixture evenly over the first layer, then top with remaining bread.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Soak.<\/strong> Pour the custard slowly over the bread, pressing down to help soak every cube. Sprinkle coconut flakes across the top. Let sit 15\u201330 minutes to absorb \u2014 or cover and chill overnight for deeper soak.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bake.<\/strong> Preheat oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C). Bake 45\u201350 minutes until edges brown and center is set but slightly jiggly. If the top browns too fast, loosely tent foil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rest and serve.<\/strong> Cool 10\u201315 minutes, slice, and serve warm. Add a scoop of ice cream or toasted coconut for dramatic effect.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cooking note:<\/strong> The cheesecake swirl is a luxurious surprise. If you prefer it more distributed, swirl with a toothpick before baking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/9amchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Easy-Coconut-Cheesecake-Bread-Pudding-The-Best-Bread-Pudding-Recipe-2.webp\" alt=\"Warm slice of coconut cheesecake bread pudding topped with toasted coconut.\" class=\"wp-image-52890\" srcset=\"https:\/\/9amchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Easy-Coconut-Cheesecake-Bread-Pudding-The-Best-Bread-Pudding-Recipe-2.webp 1024w, https:\/\/9amchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Easy-Coconut-Cheesecake-Bread-Pudding-The-Best-Bread-Pudding-Recipe-2-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/9amchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Easy-Coconut-Cheesecake-Bread-Pudding-The-Best-Bread-Pudding-Recipe-2-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/9amchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Easy-Coconut-Cheesecake-Bread-Pudding-The-Best-Bread-Pudding-Recipe-2-768x768.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What makes this the <strong>Best Bread Pudding Recipe<\/strong> (IMO)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Balanced sweetness: <strong>cream of coconut<\/strong> brings coconut flavor without cloying.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Texture contrast: chewy bread, creamy custard, silk cheesecake ribbon, and toasted coconut crunch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Versatility: doubles as breakfast, brunch centerpiece, or warm dessert.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Easy scale: feed 6\u201312 depending on portion size.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bold tip:<\/strong> <em>don\u2019t skip letting the bread dry out.<\/em> It sounds fussy but it\u2019s the difference between a custardy pudding and a soggy casserole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Expert pro tips for perfect results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Use day-old (or older) bread<\/strong> \u2014 fresher bread will collapse.

baking sheet. Leave uncovered at room temperature for about 24 hours (or up to 48 hours) so the cubes firm up. If you\u2019re short on time, toast them in a low oven until dry but not browned.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-2\" data-start=\"911\" data-end=\"1179\">\n<p data-start=\"914\" data-end=\"1179\"><strong>Make the cheesecake filling<\/strong><br data-start=\"941\" data-end=\"944\" \/>In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the 3 oz cream of coconut and \u00bc cup sugar until the mixture is silky and lump-free.

Scatter half of the dried bread cubes across the pan. Pipe the cheesecake mixture over that first layer, distributing it in ribbons or dollops so most pieces get some coverage. Top with the remaining bread cubes, pressing gently to even things out.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-5\" data-start=\"1621\" data-end=\"1805\">\n<p data-start=\"1624\" data-end=\"1805\"><strong>Soak and top<\/strong><br data-start=\"1636\" data-end=\"1639\" \/>Pour the egg-coconut custard slowly over the bread, pressing the cubes down so they absorb the liquid evenly.

If the coconut or top browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil and continue baking until done.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-7\" data-start=\"2020\" data-end=\"2243\">\n<p data-start=\"2023\" data-end=\"2243\"><strong>Finish and serve<\/strong><br data-start=\"2039\" data-end=\"2042\" \/>Let the casserole rest 10\u201315 minutes before slicing so it firms up a bit.
