Praline Sauce
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- 1½ cups brown sugar
- ¾ teaspoon salt (see notes)

Instructions
- Cut your bread into 1-inch cubes, the crust included. The more uniform the pieces, the better the resulting pudding.
- Prepare your custard mixture by mixing together all of the ingredients except the pecans, coconut and chocolate chips.
- Pour the custard onto the bread and fold the bread in, making sure all the pieces are coated with the custard. Soak the bread in the custard for 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit and grease your baking dish.
- Fold the soaked bread mixture again and transfer it to the baking dish. Layer it with pecans, coconut, and chocolate chips till evenly distributed.
- Bake from 50-60 minutes till the pudding leaves the sides of the dish and an inserted knife comes out clean
- Cool for 15-20 minutes before serving with the Praline Sauce.

Praline Sauce
- Add the butter and heavy whipping cream to a saucepan and heat until the butter is completely melted.
- Add the vanilla bean paste and salt and cook until you have n uniform mixture.
- Add the brown sugar and cook until bubbles start forming.
- Add the pecans at the end and turn the stove off once you have a dark caramel mixture.
Notes
- Salt - I like adding a little salt to my desserts to prevent them from tasting too sweet.
