Pudding:

• 2 loaves of bread cubed
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• 1 1/2 cups half and half
• 4 eggs beaten
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 tbsp vanilla
• 4 oz. white chocolate chips

On Medium Heat combine cream, half and half, and sugar until dissolved to make sauce. Beat eggs and vanilla in a large bowl, set aside. When sauce boils, remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips until smooth. Then pour pudding into large bowl and whisk with egg mixture. Add cubed pieces of bread. Let soak for 20 minutes. Put mixture into 13 X 9 X 2 in. baking pan. Spray pan first, then sprinkle another 4 oz. of white chocolate chips throughout the mixture and on top!

Sauce

• 1 stick butter
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup sugar
