Hawaiian Sweet Roll and Berry Bread Pudding with Lemon Sauce

This Hawaiian Sweet Roll and Berry Bread Pudding with Lemon Sauce is perfect for brunch or dessert.  The sweetness of the rolls makes a spectacular base for this bread pudding along with the fresh seasonal berries.  Top it off with an easy pudding lemon sauce, more berries, and a nice big glob of whipped cream for a truly mouthwatering experience.  This is a holy yum situation that you will want to partake in!  Just look at those beautiful fresh berries just waiting to be plucked!  You could use any combination of your favorite berries.  I just love strawberries and blueberries together.  I originally intended to use raspberries as well  but to my chagrin, the ones I purchased from the evil grocery store had mold on them!  This definitely makes a case for shopping at the open markets for freshness.  So anyway, I think that a blackberry or raspberry would be amazing as well.

I guess my bad luck continued at the grocery store, because I also originally intended on making a cinnamon roll bread pudding.  However, as I was aimlessly wandering around looking for said cinnamon rolls; I came upon a beautiful sight to behold.  Oh yes…sweet, wondrous, golden perfection…Hawaiian Sweet Rolls!  I immediately thought:  1) Get extras (nothing wrong with a little snacking while baking).  2)  Thank you grocery store for your low stock inventory!

Oh blessed bread…the Hawaiian rolls were AMAZING in this row (I mean piece) of goodness.  The lemon sauce adds a subtle tanginess that screams…welcome spring!  Oh how I missed you!

Don’t be afraid to give yourself a heavy pour of sauce, more fruit, and a nice big glob of whipped cream.  Serve the bread pudding warm so the whipped cream begins  to slowly melt down the sides of Mount Deliciousness.  Okay, that last piece better still be in the fridge or someone is in trouble!
