Praline Bread Pudding


You’ve never seen biscuits do this! We turned them into a custardy bread pudding bake and finished with a praline sauce that’s so good, we made it into its own recipe. To make 1 1/2 cups homemade whipped cream, place medium deep bowl and beaters in freezer or refrigerator to chill. Place 3/4 c heavy whipping cream and 1 tbsp. powdered sugar in chilled bowl. Beat on low speed until mixture begins to thicken. Add 1/2 tsp. vanilla; beat on high speed until whipped cream forms soft peaks.
