👩🍳 Instructions:
For the Bread Pudding:
Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or similar-sized dish.
Prepare the bread pudding base:
In a large bowl, combine the cubed bread and raisins. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, sugar, beaten eggs, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine:
Pour the milk mixture over the bread cubes and raisins. Stir gently to coat all the bread cubes. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes so the bread can soak up the liquid.
Bake:
Pour the soaked bread mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the pudding is golden brown on top and set in the center.
For the Vanilla Sauce:
Make the vanilla sauce:
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the heavy cream and sugar, stirring occasionally. Bring the mixture to a simmer, and cook for 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Add vanilla:
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Serve:
Once the bread pudding is baked, serve it warm with the vanilla sauce poured over the top. Enjoy the delicious, comforting flavors of this old-fashioned dessert!
🍽️ Enjoy!
This bread pudding is the ultimate cozy dessert—perfect for family gatherings or a special treat! 😋🍮
