Tiramisu Bread Pudding

Submitted by Chef Mac91

"This was the first recipe I ever tried for bread pudding. I love tiramisu & my boyfriend loves bread pudding so it was a hit. Found in a BH&G magazine...the bottom ingredients serve as the glaze on top! Also, the recipe calls for custard cups or ramekins, but I used a 2 qt casserole dish and increased the bake time to 45-50 minutes."
