I made this recipe with leftover gingerbread. I think it would have been better if I had torn the bread into chunks. There was not enough " pudding" for my taste but the flavor was very good. -
A co-worker made this recipe and it is delicious. We microwaved a slice for 10 seconds and it was very very good. -
Delicious ! I used leftover pumpkin cake with extra ginger added in to mixture. Sorry but I totally forgot to add dried fruit but my result was still fabulous. We ate it at room temp.
