Salted Caramel Bread Pudding
This Salted Caramel Bread Pudding is a harmony of flavors and textures, making it a perfect dessert for any occasion. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate treat!
Ingredients:
- 4 cups of cubed stale bread (French bread works best)
- 2 cups of whole milk
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1 cup of salted caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- Additional sea salt for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed stale bread and salted caramel sauce. Gently toss until the bread is well coated. Let it sit for a few minutes so the bread can absorb some of the sauce.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.
- Pour the milk mixture over the bread cubes. Gently fold the mixture to ensure all pieces of bread are soaked in the custard.
- Let the bread pudding sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the liquid more thoroughly.
- Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Drizzle some more salted caramel sauce on top if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Drizzle with extra salted caramel sauce and a sprinkle of sea salt before serving.
- Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgence!
