Cranberry Bread Pudding

Ingredients:

For the Bread Pudding:

  • 6 cups cubed bread (preferably day-old, such as French bread or brioche)
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Vanilla Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Bread Pudding:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
    • Spread the cubed bread evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the dried cranberries over the bread.
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
    • Pour the egg mixture over the bread and cranberries, ensuring all the bread is soaked. Press the bread down lightly with a spatula to help it absorb the liquid.
    • Let the mixture sit for about 15 minutes to soak up the liquid.
  2. Bake the Bread Pudding:
    • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
    • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
  3. Prepare the Vanilla Sauce:
    • While the bread pudding is baking, prepare the vanilla sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, heavy cream, and butter.
    • Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil.
    • Reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
    • Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Serve:
    • Once the bread pudding is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.
    • Drizzle the warm vanilla sauce over the bread pudding before serving.

Enjoy your delicious cranberry bread pudding with vanilla sauce!
