Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices cinnamon swirl bread (cut into 2.5 cm cubes)
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar (for caramel)
- 1/4 cup water (for caramel)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (for caramel)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (for caramel)
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (for caramel)
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (for caramel)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or butter for easy release.
- Place the 2.5 cm cubes of cinnamon swirl bread evenly in the greased dish, filling it up to create a delightful base.
- In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and kosher salt, mixing until smooth and well combined.
- Drizzle the custard mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring each piece is well coated; let it soak for 10 minutes so the flavors meld.
- Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the center is just set yet slightly soft.
- In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves, then stop stirring and cook until it turns a deep amber color.
- Remove from the heat and quickly whisk in butter, heavy cream, salt, and vanilla extract until the sauce is smooth and glossy.
- Let the bread pudding cool for about 10 minutes, then drizzle it generously with the warm caramel sauce before serving.
