If you have never made a bread pudding recipe before, it is simple to make with just a few ingredients. All you do is beat eggs, heavy cream, whole milk, sugar or brown sugar and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Just pour egg mixture over bread cubes in a baking dish and bake. It is a good way to use leftover bread and stale bread works just fine!
There are so many different variations you can make of bread pudding. Chocolate Brioche Bread Pudding is made with chocolate chips and cocoa powder. Pumpkin Rum Bread Pudding makes a good fall dessert. Mint Julep Bread Pudding and Bailey’s Bread Pudding have a bit of liquor added.
SOME THINGS TO KNOW:
- It is important that you use sweetened condensed milk when making this milk bread pudding sauce. Be careful not confuse it with evaporated milk. Condensed milk has sugar added and is the only sweetener in the recipe. Evaporated milk does not have any sweetener added.
- You can make this into a bourbon sauce or rum sauce by simply adding a tablespoon of your preferred liquor to the sauce. Stir it in after all the ingredients have melted together and thickened. You could also replace the vanilla extract in the recipe with rum extract.
- If you have leftover sauce, it would be a good dessert sauce over ice cream and cake. It would also make a good special occasion topping for pancakes and french toast instead of maple syrup.
- Chocolate Condensed Milk Bread Pudding Sauce can be made ahead of time. It will keep well in the refrigerator placed in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
- You can freeze any leftover sauce in an airtight freezer container for 2-3 months. Be aware that the high sugar content in the milk will keep it from freezing completely solid. You should not be alarmed by this. Defrost it in the refrigerator for several hours. Check out Can you Freeze Condensed Milk for additional freezing tips.
