Christmas is already over, but a Pandoro is still found at home.
Pandoro is a classic Italian yeast bread, sweet, golden, spongy and is very popular during Christmas or New Year times. It is very similar to a Panettone but without dried fruits. In the recipe, I added dried cranberries to bring back the panettone style, and how can you go wrong when they are baked with a cream cheese, egg and milk mixture?
This is not a typical bread and butter pudding mix, but much more like a cheesecake pudding. And surely they are best to serve warm with a drizzle of vanilla custard during breakfast!

I like how you have these into individual serves rather than one big pudding. It's so easy to over eat when you have one big pudding!
