Strawberry Guava Bread Pudding
Happy Mother’s Day! I hope everyone had a great Mother’s Day weekend. This is the dessert I brought over to our family’s Mother’s Day lunch.
INGREDIENTS
1 loaf of Mauna Kea Baking Co. Guava Bread
12 to 14 strawberries
4 eggs
2 cups skim or plain soy milk
2 to 4 Tbsp sugar (optional)
1 tsp vanilla
Cut into cubes or simply tear apart the loaf of guava bread. I bought this very delicious loaf made by Mauna Kea Baking Company at our local Costco. If you can’t find it, try any other Hawaiian sweet bread that you can find.
Next clean and cut up 12 to 14 fresh strawberries and put it together with the bread in a 9 x 13 pan.
Next, prepare the liquid ingredients. Combine the eggs, milk, and vanilla in a large bowl. Mix this up then pour it over the guava bread and strawberries.
I didn’t add any extra sugar since I knew there would be people watching their sugar intake at our lunch. However, if you are feeding kids or others with a sweet tooth, consider adding 2 to 4 tablespoons of sugar to the liquid mixture. Or better yet, serve it with scoop of ice cream.
Push the bread and strawberries down into the liquid. I actually push everything pretty hard down into the pan. I want to make sure everything has a chance to soak up the milk mixture and that any air pockets have been filled in.
Normally I bake my bread pudding at 350 degrees F. But I was running late for the lunch so I put it in at 375 degrees F and it was done in about 35 to 40 minutes.

different from the bread puddings I’ve tried, but this sounds lovely!
Hi kat,
It turned out to be a very light and refreshing dessert. Different from the rich and dense bread puddings I’m used to. I like both types though, it just depends on my mood.
that looks heavenly. the pink is just so pretty. and i love bread pudding. yum
That looks like the perfect thing for Mother’s Day. The guava bread, strawberries, and most of all the color! Great idea Lori.

Hi Sarah,
Thanks! I think it went over well. We had some as dessert with lunch, then again as dessert with dinner for those who were still around.
Hi sharon and Kevin,
Thanks! If you ever see guava bread (or Hawaiian sweet bread) in a store near you, consider giving it a try. It has a really nice mildly sweet flavor and soft moist texture as long as you get a fresh loaf.
Wow Guava bread! That sounds unreal.
Hi noble pig,
It looks unreal too (red food coloring), but it sure tastes good!
What a yummy idea! I love the ingredients
. I’m a big fan of Hawaiian bread; I actually grew up just minutes away from a Hawaiian Bread warehouse in Southern California. This sounds like a recipe worth keeping, thanks for sharing 
. Delish!

This looks delicious…I must try it one day. I have to say, I enjoy reading your posts and am very happy I came across your blog. You’ve got a lot of really good recipes. I’ve been wanting to try to make the taro bread pudding, but can’t seem to find taro bread in the stores. Did you buy your taro bread from Costco too?
Thanks Traci,
I can’t remember where I bought the taro bread, but I think it was Ani’s brand. I think sometimes they have it Costco. Thanks for stopping by!
