Ingredients

Scale
  1. For the Bread Pudding:
    • 4 cups (8 slices) cubed white bread
    • ½ cup raisins (optional, for sweetness and texture)
    • 2 cups milk
    • ¼ cup butter
    • ½ cup sugar
    • 2 eggs, slightly beaten
    • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
    • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

    For the Vanilla Sauce:

    1. ½ cup butter
    2. ½ cup granulated sugar
    3. ½ cup firmly packed brown sugar
    4. ½ cup heavy whipping cream
    5. 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 1.5-quart casserole dish or baking dish.
  • Combine Bread and Milk Mixture: Place cubed bread and raisins in a large bowl. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine milk and ¼ cup butter, stirring until the butter melts (about 4-7 minutes). Pour the warm milk mixture over the bread and let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to soak.
  • Add Pudding Ingredients: Stir in sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and nutmeg until well combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
  • Bake the Pudding: Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the pudding is set in the center and lightly golden. A toothpick inserted into the middle should come out clean.
  • Make the Vanilla Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and heavy whipping cream. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens and begins to boil (about 5-8 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
  • Serve: Spoon the warm pudding into bowls or onto plates. Generously drizzle the vanilla sauce over the top. Serve immediately for the ultimate indulgence.

Notes

  • This recipe makes a cozy and nostalgic dessert that’s perfect for family gatherings or just a sweet treat.
  • Raisins are optional, but they add a lovely sweetness and texture to the pudding.
