Ingredients
Scale
Bread Pudding Mixture
- 7 egg yolks
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
- 3/4 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 loaf brioche bread, cut into cubes
Topping
- 1/4 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk (remaining)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare it for baking the bread pudding.
- Make the milk mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, whole milk, evaporated milk, 3/4 of the sweetened condensed milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and sea salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Soak the bread: Add the cubed brioche bread into the milk mixture. Gently fold the bread cubes until they are fully coated in the mixture, allowing the bread to soak up the flavors.
- Prepare baking dish: Grease a baking dish and transfer the soaked bread mixture into it, spreading evenly.
- Add chocolate chips: Sprinkle the cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the top of the bread pudding mixture.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.
- Drizzle remaining condensed milk: Once baked, remove from the oven and immediately drizzle the remaining 1/4 can of sweetened condensed milk over the warm bread pudding for extra sweetness and moisture.
- Serve: Serve the bread pudding warm and enjoy this rich, indulgent dessert.
Notes
- Use day-old brioche bread for better absorption of the milk mixture.
- Be gentle when folding the bread to avoid breaking down the cubes too much.
- The chocolate chips can be substituted with chopped nuts or omitted for a nut-free version.
- If desired, chill leftovers and serve cold or warm up before serving.
- For a dairy-free adaptation, try using coconut milk and dairy-free condensed milk substitutes.
