Ingredients
- 2/3 cup light coconut milk
- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons reduced-fat or fat-free half-and-half
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 8 cups King's Hawaiian Original Sweet Round Bread cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 1/3 cups strawberries sliced
- 1 cup kiwi sliced, about 3 kiwis
- Generous pinch of granulated sugar
- sweetened coconut flakes for topping, optional
For the sauce:
- 1/2 cup coconut oil melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons coconut rum
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, half-and-half, egg, vanilla, and sugar.
- Add in the cubed bread and stir until all the bread is coated in the mixture, being careful not to break the cubes. Cover and place the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the sliced fruit on the prepared baking sheet, and sprinkle with a generous pinch of sugar.
- Bake until the fruit is soft and juicy, about 10-15 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and generously spray a muffin tin with cooking spray.
- Spoon the cooked fruit into the bread mixture, gently stirring to evenly incorporate the fruit. Leave some fruit to place on the top, if you want them extra pretty.
- Spoon the mixture into the muffin tin, and really push and pack it in. The more air you leave between the bread/fruit the more the pudding will deflate.
- Sprinkle with coconut flakes, and bake until golden brown, the pudding feels set, and it begins to pull away from the sides of the muffin tin, about 35-40 minutes. Let slightly cool in the tin.
Cup of Yum
To make the sauce:
- While the bread pudding bakes, whisk together the coconut oil, sugar, and egg over low heat in a small sauce pan. Stir it constantly until it just begins to thicken up (2-3 minutes.) Watch it closely so it doesn’t curdle!
- Take the sauce off the heat and whisk in the rum. Let cool slightly, so that it thickens up.
- Pour the sauce over the finished pudding and DEVOUR.
