This cinnamon bread pudding turns stale bread into a comforting dessert! Full of warm, cinnamon flavor, soft and custardy inside, crunchy and golden on top!
Combine the bread, raisins, and pecans in a large bowl.10-12 slices cubed Brioche bread, 1/2 cup Raisins, 1/3 cup Pecans, roughly chopped
Whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon powder in a small bowl.3 Eggs, 1.5 cups Coconut milk, 3/4 cup Raw sugar,1 tsp Vanilla extract, 1.5 tsp Cinnamon powder
Pour over the bread mixture.
Press the bread down a bit so it absorbs the custard mixture well.
Let the mixture stand for at least 15 minutes so most of the custard gets soaked.
Preheat your oven to 180C.
Pour the bread mixture into a pan, 8"/9" in diameter.
Spoon over the melted butter and sprinkle some cinnamon sugar on top.1 tbsp Butter, melted, 2 tsp Cinnamon sugar
Bake for 35-40 minutes till the pudding looks golden brown on top and the custard is set.
Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream and caramel sauce. Enjoy!
Notes
We need stale bread here, but make sure the bread is not too stale. If it's really hard and dry, please don't use it for bread pudding.
You can cut the bread into cubes or tear it into chunks using your hands.
If you're working with fresh bread, cube it and bake it in the oven at 150 °C / 300°F for 10-15 minutes. Or leave it out for one to two hours.
Allow the bread to soak in the egg mixture for at least 15 minutes. This will ensure a soft, gooey texture inside.
