Grease the crock pot insert or a 9x13-inch baking dish (if using oven) with the butter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, whole milk, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, dark rum (if using), and salt until well combined.
Gently fold in the bread cubes, crushed pineapple, and shredded coconut. Mix until the bread is evenly coated and has started to absorb the liquid.
Pour the bread mixture into the prepared crock pot or baking dish and spread it out evenly.
For crock pot: Cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours or until the pudding is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
For oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Cover the dish with foil and bake for 40 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the top is golden brown.
Once cooked, let the bread pudding cool for about 10-15 minutes to set fully.
Dust the top with powdered sugar and optionally garnish with maraschino cherries before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
