Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Day-old bread (French bread, brioche, or challah)
- 2 cups Milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1.5 cups Dulce de leche
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing the pan)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter and set aside.
Cut the day-old bread into 1-inch cubes. Spread the bread cubes evenly in the prepared baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, 1 cup of dulce de leche, eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Pour the milk mixture evenly over the bread cubes, ensuring all the bread is soaked. Lightly press the bread down with the back of a spoon to help absorb the liquid.
Drizzle the remaining 1/2 cup of dulce de leche over the top of the bread pudding, using a spoon to create swirls for a marbled effect.
Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes to allow the bread to fully absorb the custard.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set. The center should jiggle slightly when shaken but should not be wet.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving. Optionally, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of additional dulce de leche for extra indulgence.
