Vanilla Brioche bread pudding with sweetened condensed milk
Traditional bread and butter pudding using brioche, and flavored with cinnamon and cardamom for flavor.
Ingredients
- 25 grams soft butter to grease the baking dish
- 14 slices brioche lower crust removed
- 60 grams soft butter
- 125 ml sultanas
- 12 extra large eggs
- 385 grams condensed milk approximately 1 can
- 187 ml fine granulated sugar approximately ¾ cup
- 1 litre milk divided
- 20 grams custard powder approximately 30 ml or 2 tablespoons mixed in 125ml of the milk
- 500 ml fresh cream
- 4 small pieces stick cinnamon
- 1.25 ml fine cardamom approximately ¼ teaspoon
- 5 ml vanilla extract approximately 1 teaspoon
- 1.25 ml vanilla seeds or paste approximately ¼ teaspoon
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 180 degrees Celcius or 160 fan / 350 F / Gas mark 4.
- Grease an ovenproof glass baking dish of 2 litre capacity with 25 grams butter. I used an oblong dish for the large one and a ramekin to make a smaller individual one.
- The brioche will have a soft top crust so only remove the harder bottom crust from all the slices and cut each one in half diagonally to make triangles.
- Spread each slice on one side only with a slick of the soft butter and arrange in the dish cut side up.
- Sprinkle the sultanas between the layers.
- In a large bowl add the eggs, condensed milk and sugar and beat for 5 minutes with a whisk until pale and creamy.
- Reserve 1/2 cup of milk and mix with the custard powder until smooth and free of lumps.
- Add the rest of the milk, the cream and the custard mixture to the egg mixture and whisk thoroughly for 2 minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract, vanilla seeds and cardamom and whisk lightly to combine.
- Scatter the stick cinnamon pieces evenly over the bread layers then ladle the egg mixture on carefully.
- Leave the bread pudding to sit unbaked for at least 45 minutes, and occasionally press down lightly to help the bread absorb the custard.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the bread is golden and the custard is set.
- Serve immediately with stewed dried fruit.
