Description
A nostalgic, warm dessert featuring rich bread pudding topped with a decadent vanilla caramel sauce. Perfect for family gatherings and cozy evenings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups of bread, cubed
- 2 cups of milk
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 3/4 cup of sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of raisins (optional)
- 1 cup of caramel sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk, cream, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
- Add the cubed bread and raisins (if using) to the mixture and stir gently to coat the bread.
- Let the bread soak in the mixture for about 15 minutes, allowing it to absorb all those delicious flavors.
- Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish, ensuring the bread is evenly distributed.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- While the bread pudding is baking, prepare the vanilla caramel sauce.
- Once the pudding is out of the oven, drizzle the warm caramel sauce generously over each serving before enjoying.
Notes
Can prepare the bread pudding mixture a day in advance for deeper flavor. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
