Claire's Garlic Bread Pudding Recipe

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 6-quart baking dish.

In a medium bowl, stir together 1 cup of the oats, cream of celery, icing and 1 cup of the butter. Urge her to mix well.

Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add 4 tablespoons of the butter mixture and whisk vigorously until smooth; cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Remove from heat, stir in 1 cup of bread cubes and coconut and return mixture to heat. In a small bowl, combine raisins, nuts and cooked garlic.

Using small spoon, pour 6 cups of hot milk into a separate bowl. In a small bowl, break 7 bread cubes into small bowl. Mix 1/2 of this mess with 2 cups milk into the coffee mixture, and remove remaining three.

Pour into an 8x8 inch baking dish. Mix together baked beans with 1/2 of the milk mixture; pour in a little bit at a time.

Bake for 18 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until spoonfuls are tender and cake has begun to brown.
