Ingredients

For the Bread Pudding

For the Butter Rum Sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Spread the bread cubes evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the raisins over the bread.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, spiced rum, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.
  • Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread cubes, pressing down gently to ensure all the bread is soaked. Let it sit for 20-30 minutes to absorb the liquid.
  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
  • While the bread pudding bakes, make the butter rum sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar and cook until dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Slowly whisk in the heavy cream, spiced rum, and a pinch of salt. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
  • Once the bread pudding is done, let it cool for 5-10 minutes. Drizzle the warm butter rum sauce over the top before serving. Enjoy!
