Bermunchie: Dark n' Stormy Bread Pudding

If you don’t know us by now, you should know that we have a love affair with Goslings Black Seal Rum. We are constantly trying to come up with ways to use Bermudian flavours in everyday dishes you may already make on a regular. I’m not much of a baker but I do have a sweet tooth! After some brainstorming I came up with a “Bermudianized” version of a classic comfort food dessert- bread pudding.

Now what’s more Bermudian than a Dark n’ Stormy?.....(Swizzle I know- we have something in the works for that too..... stay tuned).  So we worked and worked and tested a recipe until we found it to be perfect! Try it for yourself and let us know what you think!
