Ingredients

• 8 cups day-old bread (French or brioche, cubed)
• 3 cups whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cup raisins (optional)
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (for rum sauce)
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons dark rum
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream (for rum sauce)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed bread and raisins (if using). Set aside.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until fully combined and smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring all pieces are coated. Gently toss to combine, then let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the liquid.

Step 5

Transfer the soaked bread mixture into the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. A knife inserted into the middle should come out clean.

Step 7

While the bread pudding bakes, prepare the butter rum sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the powdered sugar and dark rum, whisking until smooth. Add the heavy cream and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce is slightly thickened. Remove from heat.

Step 8

Let the bread pudding cool for 10 minutes before serving. Drizzle the warm butter rum sauce over individual portions, or serve the sauce on the side for guests to add as desired.

Step 9

Enjoy your Mulate's Homemade Bread Pudding with Butter Rum Sauce immediately, or store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
