Instructions
Creating this delightful Bread Pudding with Vanilla Sauce can be simple if you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
2. Prepare Bread: Place the cubed bread in the greased baking dish evenly.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the egg mixture over the cubed bread. Gently press down on the bread to ensure it absorbs the liquid.
5. Add Optional Ingredients: If desired, sprinkle raisins or chocolate chips over the top for added flavor.
6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the top is golden brown.
7. Cool: Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
8. Prepare Vanilla Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
