Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter to prevent sticking.
Cut the challah or brioche bread into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it is warm and the sugar has dissolved, but donβt let it boil. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
In a small bowl, whisk the eggs and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually add the warm cream mixture to the eggs, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the eggs. Set the custard mixture aside.
Pour half of the custard mixture over the bread cubes in the mixing bowl and gently toss to coat. Allow the bread to soak for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure all pieces are absorbing the liquid.
Transfer half of the soaked bread into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle half of the white chocolate chips and half of the fresh raspberries over the bread layer.
Add the remaining soaked bread to the baking dish, followed by the rest of the white chocolate chips and raspberries. Pour the remaining custard mixture evenly over the top of the bread pudding.
Press down gently with a spatula to ensure the bread is fully submerged and the top is evenly covered.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set. To check, insert a knife or toothpick into the centerβit should come out clean.
Remove the bread pudding from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes. If desired, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.
Serve warm as is, or pair with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or an extra drizzle of melted white chocolate.
