Oh, that’s a clever twist! 🥖🍮 Making Bread Pudding in the Blender is quick, smooth, and gives you a custard base in just minutes. The blender makes it extra easy to whip everything together, giving the pudding a creamy texture inside with a golden, slightly crisp top.
🍮 Bread Pudding in the Blender Recipe
Ingredients (Serves 6–8)
- 5 cups bread cubes (day-old bread like brioche, challah, or French bread)
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups milk (or half-and-half for richer pudding)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup sugar (brown sugar for caramel notes, or white sugar)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- ½ cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional)
- 2 tbsp melted butter (for greasing + drizzling)
Instructions
1. Prep the Bread
- Cut bread into 1-inch cubes.
- Lightly toast them in the oven (5–7 minutes at 350°F / 175°C) if bread is too soft.
- Place cubes into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Make the Custard in Blender
- In a blender, combine eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Blend until smooth and frothy (about 30–45 seconds).
3. Assemble
- Pour blended custard evenly over bread cubes, pressing lightly so bread soaks up the mixture.
- Sprinkle raisins or chocolate chips (if using).
- Drizzle with melted butter.
- Let rest for 10 minutes to absorb flavors.
4. Bake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake uncovered for 45–50 minutes, until golden brown and custard is set (a knife should come out clean).
5. Serve
- Serve warm with:
- Caramel sauce
- Whipped cream
- Vanilla ice cream
- A dusting of powdered sugar
Tips & Variations
- For extra richness: Add 2 tbsp bourbon or rum to custard.
- For a fruity twist: Add diced apples, bananas, or berries before baking.
- For a caramel bottom: Pour ½ cup caramel sauce into the pan before adding bread.
- Make-ahead: Prepare the pudding, refrigerate overnight, and bake fresh in the morning.
