Step-by-step "Hawaiian Bread" Pudding...

Bread pudding out of “Hawaiian Bread” one of the best things I have ever made, not to mention easy! If you love Hawaiian bread, you will definitely love this dessert. And bonus, there is Hawaiian bread and pineapple in it so it also qualifies as breakfast!

1. Cut the bread and pineapple into bite sized cubes and add to the  9×13 pan. In a saucepan heat the cream over medium heat. 
2. Meanwhile put the chocolate chips into a medium sized bowl. 
3. Once the heavy cream begins to simmer remove it from the heat and pour over the white chocolate chips. 
4. Whisk the white chocolate and the heavy cream until the chocolate is melted. Add the sugar, milk, eggs, egg yolks and vanilla and whisk. Pour the mixture over the bread and pineapple. Sprinkle with the coconut.
