How Long Will Cinnamon Raisin Bread Pudding Last?
Nobody wants their homemade bread pudding to go to waste! Once you've finished making your bread pudding, wait for it to cool to room temperature before storing it. Transfer it to a container that can seal. A standard Rubbermaid-type container works fine. If you don't have a container that can work, wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap is another option.
By covering the dessert, you'll prevent cross-contamination and keep it from drying out. Aim to finish the bread pudding within 3-4 days. Unfortunately, bread pudding is vulnerable to mold. If you want it to last longer, freeze it. Frozen bread pudding will last for up to a month. Just make sure it's sealed or wrapped tightly to prevent freezer burn.
To reheat, you can use either the oven or the microwave. We recommend the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 and then bake for 10-15 minutes. Cover with aluminum foil to maintain moisture. If using the microwave, simply put it in for 30 seconds. If it isn't warm enough after that, continue cooking in 10-second intervals until it reaches the desired temperature.
Remember to always examine leftovers before using them! If it looks or smells off, discard it. As we said earlier, bread pudding is vulnerable to mold, so make sure you're keeping an eye out for that.
