Bread Pudding Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
Prepare the Bread
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the stale brioche or challah bread into cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Mix Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, heavy cream, whole milk, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Combine Ingredients
Pour the wet mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring all pieces are soaked. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the mixture.
Bake the Pudding
Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pudding is set.
Prepare the Sauce
While the pudding is baking, melt 1/4 cup of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of dark rum, and 1 tsp of vanilla. Cook until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly.
Serve
Once the bread pudding is done, remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the warm sauce over the top before serving.
