You just know, given the fact that none of my recipes actually contain bread, that today's recipe isn't actually bread pudding. No, this beautiful and healthy recipe with a surprise ingredient, comes to you by way of Low-Carbing Among Friends co-author Maria Emmerich. I adapted her healthy recipe for Rhubard Bread Pudding, by doubling up the rhubarb, using ghee instead of butter, added my own warm vanilla sauce and then topped it with dairy-free whipped coconut cream. To die for!!
