Bread Pudding Custard

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar, plus extra for sprinkling on top before baking
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tablespoon Steen’s cane syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 8 cups day old French bread, diced (amount may vary slightly)

Instructions

Tightly fill 8 six ounce ramekins with diced French bread. Set aside until ready to fill with custard.

To make custard begin by mixing cinnamon and sugar together then add vanilla, Steen’s cane syrup and eggs. Wisk until smooth. Add milk and cream to sugar and egg mixture. Whisk until smooth then pass through a fine mesh strainer. Pour custard into bread filled ramekins. Allow ten minutes to let bread absorb custard then press the dry bread on top down into custard. Top off the bread puddings with any remaining custard. Let bread puddings sit for one hour before baking.

Preheat oven to 320 degrees. Place ramekins into a baking dish. Sprinkle top of bread puddings with sugar. Bake in a hot water bath for 45 minutes. Bread puddings will puff up when done.
