Description

A rich, custardy bread pudding infused with three luscious milks and topped with whipped cream—an indulgent twist on two classic desserts.


Ingredients

  • 1 loaf day-old brioche or challah, cubed
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (for greasing)
  • Whipped cream (for topping)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and butter a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Cube the bread into 1-inch pieces. Leave it out to dry or toast lightly in the oven if needed.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, whole milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
  4. Add bread cubes to the baking dish and pour the milk mixture evenly over them. Gently press to coat and soak for at least 15 minutes.
  5. Bake uncovered for 40–50 minutes until golden on top and set in the center. A knife should come out mostly clean.
  6. Let cool slightly, then top generously with whipped cream. Slice and serve warm or chilled.

Notes

  • Try adding raisins, chocolate chips, or orange zest to the custard for extra depth.
  • Serve with a drizzle of caramel or sprinkle of cinnamon for added flair.
  • Store leftovers tightly wrapped in the fridge for up to 4 days; flavors improve over time.
