FABULOUS! I'm not a bread pudding fan but this won me over! After I tried it at Prince Court, I've made it when I can find Poha jam. That's the hardest thing to find.

I'm not a bread pudding lover but this was my fave dessert when Prince Court restaurant was around. I've made this recipe several times and it is ONO!!
