Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, approximately 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Gently fold in the brioche bread cubes, halved blackberries, and diced cream cheese. Ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed. Set aside to allow the bread to absorb the liquid mixture, about 15 minutes. (17 minutes)

04

Step

Lay out a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil (or double layer regular foil) on a flat surface. Brush the foil generously with the melted butter. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Carefully transfer the bread pudding mixture onto the center of the buttered foil. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Bring the short ends of the foil together and fold over twice to create a tight seal. Fold the sides in, leaving some room for steam to form within the packet, and fold over twice to seal completely. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Place the foil packet on the grill over indirect heat (away from direct flames). Grill until the bread pudding is puffed, the liquid is absorbed, and the edges are beautifully toasted, about 35 minutes. (35 minutes)

08

Step

Carefully remove the foil packet from the grill using tongs or oven mitts. Allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before opening. (10 minutes)

09

Step

Open the packet carefully, being mindful of escaping steam. Scoop the warm bread pudding into bowls and serve immediately. (3 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of bourbon or rum to the custard mixture.
If you don't have fresh blackberries, frozen blackberries can be used. Be sure to thaw and drain them before adding to the bread mixture.
Adjust grilling time based on your grill's heat. The bread pudding is done when it's puffed up and the liquid is absorbed.
Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of honey for added sweetness.

    The instructions were very clear and easy to follow. My family loved it and asked me to make it again!

    Be careful when opening the foil packet - the steam is very hot! Otherwise, this recipe is foolproof and delicious.

  • Zena Kris

    I used store-bought whipped cream and it was still a great addition!

    I was a bit skeptical about grilling a dessert, but this turned out amazing! The blackberries were perfectly tart and the brioche was so soft.

  • Jayme Reilly

    This recipe is a game-changer! Grilling the bread pudding adds such a unique smoky flavor that you can't get in the oven.

  • Myriam Bins

    My cream cheese wasn't as chilled as I'd like, but it still worked great. It melted a bit more but tasted incredible!
