Indulge in this decadent Custard Bread Pudding with a luscious Vanilla Sauce that will delight your taste buds. This classic dessert is a perfect combination of creamy custard-soaked bread with a hint of vanilla sweetness.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 16 oz loaf of French bread (454g)
  • 3 ¾ cups whole milk
  • 1 ½ cup heavy cream
  • 7 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 ¼ cup sugar

Optional:

  • Zest of 1/2 an orange

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bread: Cube the loaf of French bread into 1.5 inch cubes. Ensure the bread is dry by toasting it lightly or letting it sit out to stale.
  2. Mix Custard Mixture: In a large bowl, combine milk, heavy cream, eggs, vanilla, and sugar. Whisk until well blended.
  3. Add the Bread: Place dried bread cubes in a glass baking dish and pour the custard mixture over them. Coat the bread evenly.
  4. Soak the Bread: Cover and refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
  5. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Create a water bath, cover the dish with foil, and bake for 1.5 hours. Uncover to toast the crust until golden brown.
  6. Serve: Enjoy the bread pudding with Vanilla Sauce and your choice of toppings like berries or caramel sauce.

Notes

  • Ensure the bread is dry for better absorption of the custard.
  • Watch closely when toasting the crust to prevent burning.
