Description

Creamy Blueberry Layered Bread Pudding is a delightful dessert made with fresh blueberries and creamy custard soaked in bread.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups of day-old bread, cubed
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Butter (for greasing the baking dish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter.
  2. Place the cubed bread in a large mixing bowl.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  4. Pour the custard mixture over the cubed bread. Gently toss to ensure all the bread is coated. Allow it to sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb the liquid.
  5. In the greased baking dish, create layers by placing half of the soaked bread mixture at the bottom. Sprinkle half of the blueberries over this layer.
  6. Add the remaining bread mixture on top of the blueberries, and then sprinkle the rest of the blueberries evenly over the final layer.
  7. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
  8. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow it to cool for about 15-20 minutes before serving.
  9. Cut into squares and serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • Use stale bread for better texture.
  • Frozen blueberries can be used if fresh ones are not available.
