Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Day-old bread (preferably brioche or challah)
- 2 large Ripe bananas
- 1 cup Dark chocolate chunks
- 1 cup Salted caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.
Cut the bread into roughly 1-inch cubes and spread them evenly in the greased baking dish.
Peel and slice the bananas, then scatter the slices over the bread cubes. Sprinkle the chocolate chunks evenly over the bread and bananas.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, heavy cream, and caramel sauce. Heat the mixture, stirring constantly, until the caramel is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Slowly pour the slightly cooled caramel mixture into the egg mixture, whisking continuously to avoid scrambling the eggs.
Pour the custard mixture over the bread, bananas, and chocolate in the baking dish, ensuring all the bread pieces are soaked. Use a spatula to gently press the bread down if necessary.
Let the mixture sit for 10–15 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
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. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean (or with just chocolate).
Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Drizzle additional caramel sauce over the top for serving, if desired.
Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream!
