Ingredients

For the bread pudding:
  • 15 lices white bread cubed, crust removed
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¾ cup raisins
  • ¾ cup pecans chopped
  • 6 large eggs
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 ½ cups milk warmed
For the caramel sauce:
  • ½ cup light brown sugar packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish with baking spray. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine bread cubes with melted butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, raisins and chopped pecans. Mix gently until well blended. Pour into bottom of prepared baking dish.
  3. Using the same bowl, whisk together the eggs with the sugar, vanilla and salt until frothy. Add warm milk and stir until blended. Pour over bread mixture.
  4. Bake for 30-35 minutes until edges lightly brown (center will be jiggly). Remove from oven.
  5. While bread pudding slightly cools and sets, prepare caramel sauce. In a saucepan over medium high heat, combine sugars, butter and heavy cream. Bring to a boil and stir continuously. Boil (at a rolling boil) for about 2 minutes.
  6. Serve warm. ENJOY!

Notes

  • Bread pudding tastes best warm. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat before serving.
  • This homemade caramel sauce isn’t just for bread pudding! Try it over pancakes, on ice cream, or as a dipper for fresh apple slices.
  • The center will look soft and jiggly, like a custard or cheesecake, when this caramel bread pudding comes out of the oven. Do not overbake. It’ll continue to set as it cools.
