Decadent Vanilla Cinnamon Bread Pudding

Ingredients

- 8 slices of bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup butter, melted

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the pudding.

2. Prepare the Bread:
Arrange the bread cubes evenly in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the raisins evenly over the bread cubes.

3. Create the Custard Mixture:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

4. Combine Bread and Custard:
Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring all pieces are coated. Lightly press the bread down with a spatula to help it absorb the custard evenly.

5. Add a Buttery Finish:
Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the bread pudding, ensuring even coverage.

6. Bake the Bread Pudding:
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Cooling:
Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This allows the custard to set fully and ensures the best texture.

8. Serve and Enjoy:
Serve warm. Optionally, top with additional heavy cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
