This is an unusual bread pudding in that the texture is smooth, and dense with no evidence of the bread at all, almost like a tres leches cake because they make it from left over hamburger buns, which they soak in eggs and cream until the buns lose all form and shape. With hard sauce, the pudding is amazing.Mulate's is a restaurant in New Orleans.
