How Long Will Blueberry Bread Pudding Last in the Fridge?
There's a chance you'll be left with leftovers of this recipe. It's always a question as to how long something will last in the fridge, especially when it's homemade. You can expect your blueberry bread pudding to last for 3-4 days in the fridge. Of course, this is assuming that it's stored correctly. Blueberry bread pudding needs to be either stored in an airtight container or wrapped very tightly in plastic wrap. This step is crucial to ensure that it stays fresh and moist.
If you want your blueberry bread pudding to last longer, you can always freeze it. Blueberry bread pudding will last for around a month in the freezer. Make sure it's stored in an airtight container or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn. Thaw overnight in the fridge.
Blueberry bread pudding is, unfortunately, vulnerable to mold as any other moist food is. When preparing to re-heat, check for signs of mold or similar issues. If it smells or looks off, discard it. If the bread pudding passes the smell and vision test, you can also give it a quick taste. If it tastes odd or sour, discard. You can reheat your blueberry bread pudding at 350 in the oven for 10-15 minutes, with aluminum foil on top to prevent drying out. Or, you can reheat it for 30 seconds in the microwave for a faster re-heat.
