This Strawberry Rhubarb Pound Cake Pudding is a perfect summertime.

Strawberry Rhubarb pie filling is topped with pound cake for an easy bread pudding recipe that will blow you away!

This recipe is so, so good and it is so easy. I love using pie filling in recipes like in my Blueberry Cinnamon Rolls. This recipe starts with one of my favorite, summertime flavors of Lucky Leaf pie filling; strawberry rhubarb! I love the classic combination of sweet strawberries and tart rhubarb together. This dessert is a perfect summertime treat and it’s one that I think you’re really going to enjoy. Not just because it’s incredibly delicious but also because it’s incredibly simple and easy to make!

Most bread pudding recipes call for day-old bread. This is because you need bread that can stand up to the egg filling and soak it all up; not a soft bread that will fall apart. My recipe calls for thawed pound cake in place of traditional bread. Pound cake is hearty enough to soak up the egg mixture, plus it is sweet all on its own. Together all of these ingredients work together in harmony for a sweet and tangy bite of heaven. Serve yours up warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream of whipped cream and you’re in for a real treat!

Strawberry Rhubarb Bread Pudding

The aroma from this bread pudding alone is enough to have the neighbors come running for a spoonful! But once you actually taste the buttery pound cake, the sweet fruit filling, and the hint of citrus together, you will be convinced that this is your new favorite dessert.

Once the bread pudding comes out of the oven, drizzle your piece with the vanilla glaze. The glaze sort of melts right into the warm pound cake and tastes absolutely heavenly. Between the rich-tasting poundcake, the sweet pie filling, and the vanilla glaze, this recipe feels like you are getting three desserts all in one.
