Ingredients

• 8 cups French bread
• 2 cups Fresh strawberries
• 4 large Eggs
• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 for serving Whipped cream (optional)
• 1 for dusting Powdered sugar (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly butter a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Cut the French bread into 1-inch cubes and spread them evenly in the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

Hull and slice the fresh strawberries, then scatter them over the bread cubes.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread and strawberries, ensuring the bread is fully saturated.

Step 6

Gently press the bread pieces down into the custard with the back of a spoon to help absorb the liquid.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Dot the top of the pudding with small pieces of unsalted butter for extra richness.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set in the center.

Step 10

Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm with whipped cream and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
