Bread Pudding Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Tear the stale bread into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Make the Custard

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, mascarpone cheese, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Bread and Custard

    Pour the custard mixture over the torn bread. Let it soak for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure all the bread is coated.

  4. 4

    Add Berries

    Gently fold in the mixed berries, being careful not to break them.

  5. 5

    Bake the Pudding

    Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

  6. 6

    Prepare Butterscotch Cream Brulee

    While the pudding is baking, prepare the butterscotch cream brulee by combining brown sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla in a saucepan. Heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly. Let it cool.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Once the bread pudding is done baking, let it cool for a few minutes. Serve warm topped with butterscotch cream brulee and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
