Cupcake-Bread Pudding
- 2 Tablespoons Melted Butter
- 1-1/2 cup Milk (preferably Whole Milk)
- 1/2 cups Heavy Cream (you Could Just Use Milk If You Don't Have Heavy Cream And In That Case You Should Use 1 1/2 Cup And 2 Tablespoons Of Milk)
- 2 whole Large Eggs
- 1 Egg Yolk
- 1/4 cups Sugar (if You Are Using Stale Bread You May Want To Put About 3/4 Cups Of Sugar, I Used Cupcakes Which Already Had Sugar In Them So I Just Needed Enough Sugar To Sweeten The Custard)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1/8 teaspoons Salt
- 8 (up To 10) Leftover Cupcakes Or 10-12 Slices Of Stale (still Edible) Bread
- 1/2 cups Chopped Walnuts Or Pecans
- 1/4 cups Chocolate Chips
- 1. Butter and grease a 6.5 x 8.5 inch Pyrex glass baking dish (height- 2.5 inches) and set aside. You could use a square 8 x 8 inch baking dish or even a bread loaf pan as well.
- 2. In a mixing bowl, add the melted butter, milk, cream, eggs, egg yolk, sugar, vanilla and salt and whisk by hand until they all come together. Set aside.
- 3. In your baking dish lay down big chunks of leftover cupcake or cubed stale bread covering the entire base of the baking dish.
- 4. Add some of the chopped walnuts or pecans and the chocolate chips over the cake/bread layer. If you are using bread you may choose to put another layer of bread over the chopped nuts. The cupcake becomes a bit dense after sitting in the fridge so I didn't put a double layer.
- 5. Pour the eggs and milk mixture over the cake/bread base until the cake/bread is completely soaked with this mixture. Add some more chopped nuts over this. Do make sure to add some nuts on the top to give your cake/bread pudding that crunch and texture.
- 6. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour or even overnight if you have the time.
- 7. Preheat the oven at 325 F. While the oven is preheating you may want to take your baking dish out of the refrigerator to bring it to room temperature.
- 8. Then put the dish into the heated oven. Bake for about 30-40 minutes until the top has browned a bit and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Your super delectable cupcake/bread pudding is ready to be sliced and eaten! You could of course make a vanilla sauce or add maple syrup/honey to drizzle over it. Or even better make a whiskey sauce or just dust some powdered sugar over the top.
