Instructions
Creating Wild Berry Bread Pudding Drizzled is a delightful and simple process. Follow these steps for the best results:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
2. Prepare the Bread: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed bread with the wild berries. Gently toss to distribute the berries evenly.
3. Mix the Custard: In another 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 custard mixture over the bread and berries. Allow the bread to soak for about 10-15 minutes, pressing down occasionally to ensure all pieces are soaked.
5. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the soaked mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Cool: Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 15-20 minutes before drizzling.
8. Prepare the Drizzle: In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar with a tablespoon of water or milk until smooth. Adjust the consistency as needed.
9. Drizzle: Once the bread pudding has cooled slightly, drizzle the powdered sugar mixture over the top.
10. Serve: Cut into squares and serve warm, optionally garnished with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color.
