Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 pieces Twinkies
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (for greasing the baking dish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter.
Unwrap the Twinkies and cut them into 1-inch pieces. Arrange the pieces evenly in the greased baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until fully combined and smooth.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the Twinkie pieces, making sure all the pieces are soaked. Gently press down with the back of a spoon to help the Twinkies absorb the custard.
Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to ensure the Twinkies are fully saturated.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set (it should no longer jiggle in the middle).
Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally with a drizzle of vanilla sauce, whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
