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
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter.
- Place the cubed bread in a large mixing bowl.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- 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.
- 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.
- Add the remaining bread mixture on top of the blueberries, and then sprinkle the rest of the blueberries evenly over the final layer.
- 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.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and allow it to cool for about 15-20 minutes before serving.
- 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.
