Steps:
- For the "dread" pudding: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter ten 6-ounce ramekins with the butter.
- Spread the sweet roll cubes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake until golden and lightly toasted, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool. Lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
- Whisk together the cream, almond milk, sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, salt and eggs and yolks in a large bowl. Transfer the toasted roll cubes to the mixture, toss to coat and allow to sit for 15 minutes.
- Fold the chocolate chips and cherries into the cream and bread mixture and evenly divide among the buttered ramekins. Bake until the tops are crispy and the custard has set, 30 to 40 minutes.
- For the cherry "blood" sauce: Meanwhile, combine the cherries, brandy, honey and salt in a blender and blend on high until smooth, about 1 minute. Transfer to a medium saucepan and add the butter. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened and reduced by about half, about 30 minutes.
- For the shortbread "tombstones:" On a baking sheet lined with parchment, lay the shortbread cookies smooth-side up. Add the white chocolate chips to a small glass or microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 15-second intervals until melted.
- Pick out icing letters to spell RIP or various names or initials. Using a toothpick, spread the melted white chocolate onto the back of the icing letters and glue them to the shortbread cookies to resemble tombstones. Spray each tombstone with the black food coloring mist spray and let dry for a few minutes. Spray each with the pearl food coloring mist spray and let dry for a few minutes.
- Serve the "dread" puddings with cherry "blood" sauce and garnish with the shortbread tombstones and mint sprigs.

CHERRY BREAD PUDDING
This is inspired by a recipe by the French baker Jacquy Pfeiffer, whose French Pastry School in Chicago is the only school of its kind in the country. Jacquy's recipe, called a bettelmann, is a traditional Alsatian dish made with day-old brioche. This version, made with regular or whole-wheat bread, is not as rich.

Steps:
- Cut the bread into 3/4-inch squares. Combine the milk and vanilla and toss with the bread in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or longer.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 9-inch ceramic tart pan or 2-quart baking dish. Arrange the pitted cherries in the dish.
- Remove the soaked bread from the refrigerator and beat with a whisk or an immersion blender until it becomes a mush. Beat in the egg yolks, almond flour, cinnamon, kirsch if using, and honey.
- In a clean, dry bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment, begin beating the egg whites on low speed. Gradually add the sugar, turn up the speed to high and whip until the egg whites form a soft meringue, about 1 minute. Be careful not to overbeat, as you do not want the mixture to dry out. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the bread mixture. Scrape into the baking dish. Sprinkle the sliced almonds on top.
- Bake 40 minutes, until puffed and golden brown. Serve warm.

Tips and Conclusion
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe cherries. This will give your bread pudding the best flavor.
- If you don't have fresh cherries, you can use frozen or canned cherries. Just be sure to thaw the frozen cherries before using. And, if you use canned cherries, be sure to drain and rinse them before using.
- Use a good quality bread. A stale or dry bread will make for a dry bread pudding. Try to use a fresh, soft bread, such as challah or brioche.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the bread pudding tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are combined.
- Bake the bread pudding in a water bath. This will help to keep the bread pudding moist and prevent it from drying out.
- Serve the bread pudding warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Conclusion:
Black cherry bread pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover bread and cherries. This bread pudding is also a great make-ahead dessert. You can make it a day or two ahead of time and then reheat it when you are ready to serve.
