Ingredients

• 8 cups (cubed) Day-old bread (French or brioche preferred)
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)
• 2 tablespoons (for greasing pan) Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Heavy cream (for Chantilly cream)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for Chantilly cream)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter and set aside.

Step 2

Cut the day-old bread into 1-inch cubes and place them in the prepared baking dish. If using raisins, sprinkle them evenly over the bread cubes.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread cubes, pressing down gently with a spatula to ensure all the bread is soaked in the custard.

Step 5

Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.

Step 6

Bake the bread pudding in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set (a knife inserted into the center should come out clean).

Step 7

While the bread pudding is baking, prepare the Chantilly cream. In a medium mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or whisk to beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.

Step 8

Once the bread pudding is baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes.

Step 9

Serve the warm bread pudding with a generous dollop of Chantilly cream on top. Enjoy!
