Ingredients
- 4 cups bread cubes
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
Instructions
Prepare the Bread
- Cut bread into small cubes. Place them in a large bowl. Use slightly stale bread for best texture. This helps the bread soak up the custard mixture better.
Mix the Wet Ingredients
- In another bowl, whisk together milk, cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. Mix until smooth and well combined. This creates the creamy base for the pudding.
Combine Bread and Custard
- Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes. Gently mix so all pieces are coated. Let it sit for 10 minutes to absorb the liquid.
Add White Chocolate
- Stir in white chocolate chips evenly. This adds sweetness and creamy flavor to every bite.
Prepare Baking Dish
- Grease a baking dish with butter. Pour the mixture into the dish. Spread it evenly for even baking.
Preheat the Oven
- Set your oven to 180°C (350°F). Allow it to heat fully before baking.
Bake the Pudding
- Place the dish in the oven. Bake for 40–45 minutes until the top is golden and the center is set. The edges should be slightly crispy.
Cool and Serve
- Let the pudding cool for 10 minutes before serving. This helps it set properly. Serve warm for best taste.
Notes
- Use brioche or challah bread for richer taste
- Add raisins or nuts for extra texture
- Use dark chocolate instead of white chocolate
- Add a caramel sauce on top
- Do not overbake to keep it soft
- Let it soak well before baking
