Ingredients (Serves 6-8):
– 6 cups stale bread, cubed (such as French bread or brioche)
– 1 can (14 oz or 400g) sweetened condensed milk
– 2 cups whole milk
– 4 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– Pinch of salt
– 1/2 cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional)
For the Caramel Sauce (Optional):
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup water
– 1/4 cup heavy cream
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions:
*Step 1: Prepare the Bread*
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish and place the cubed stale bread in it.
*Step 2: Create the Custard Mixture*
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
*Step 3: Combine Custard and Bread*
Pour the custard mixture over the cubed bread in the baking dish, ensuring that the bread is evenly soaked. If desired, add raisins or chocolate chips for an extra burst of flavor.
*Step 4: Bake the Bread Pudding*
Place the baking dish in a larger baking pan and create a water bath by adding hot water to the larger pan. This helps the bread pudding cook evenly and prevents it from drying out. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the top is golden brown.
*Step 5: Prepare the Caramel Sauce (Optional)*
In a saucepan, combine granulated sugar and water. Cook over medium heat, swirling the pan occasionally, until the sugar turns into a deep amber caramel. Remove from heat and carefully stir in the heavy cream and unsalted butter until smooth. Let the sauce cool slightly before drizzling it over the bread pudding.
*Step 6: Serve and Enjoy*
Once baked, remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Drizzle the caramel sauce over individual servings if desired. This dessert is best enjoyed warm, allowing you to savor the creamy richness and irresistible flavors.
Condensed Milk Bread Pudding is a journey into the realm of decadence and comfort.
