Belizean Bread Pudding
Serves: 24
Prep Time: 30 Min
Cook Time: 1 Hr 30 Min
Cooking Method: Bake
Ingredients:
-1 3/4 cup granulated sugar (350g)
-½ cup seedless raisins (300g)
-1 Tbsp cinnamon (3dsp)
-1/2 cup butter (125g)
-7/8 cup evaporated milk (200ml)
-1 2/3 cup coconut milk (400ml)
-1 oz rum (or brandy or vanilla extract)
-1/2 cup water
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375°F/190°C and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan. Break up the bread into a large bowl. Add the sugar, raisins, butter, cinnamon, and mix gently with a large spoon. In a saucepan over medium heat, mix together the evaporated milk, coconut milk, and water; cook until hot. Add creamy mixture to the bowl with bread pieces, and set aside until bread is soggy. Then add the alcohol (or vanilla extract) and mix well. Pour bread pudding into greased pan and bake 90 minutes, or until the top of the bread pudding is a bit crunchy. Let cool completely. Turn out and place crunchy side up. It's delicious as is, or even better topped with ice cream, custard, or whipped cream!
