The best part? It’s super easy to make. Let’s dive right in!

Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what you’ll need to get started:

  • 4 cups of bread cubes (any type of bread works, but day-old bread is best)
  • 2 cups of strong brewed coffee (make it nice and bold)
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 1 cup of heavy cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon (optional, but adds a nice touch)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Butter (for greasing the baking dish)

How To Make

  1. Prepare the Bread: Start by cutting your bread into cubes. If your bread is fresh, let it sit out for a few hours to dry out a bit. Dry bread soaks up the coffee better.
  2. Soak the Bread in Coffee: In a large bowl, pour the strong brewed coffee over the bread cubes. Let them soak for about 10-15 minutes, or until the bread is fully soaked and soft.
  3. Make the Custard: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix until everything is well combined.
  4. Combine Everything: Pour the custard mixture over the coffee-soaked bread. Gently stir to make sure all the bread is coated in the custard.
  5. Prep the Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish with butter to prevent sticking.
  6. Bake the Pudding: Pour the bread and custard mixture into the greased baking dish. Spread it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the top is golden brown.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Once it’s done, let the pudding cool for a few minutes before serving. You can eat it warm or cold. It’s delicious either way!

And that’s it! Your Coffee Bread Pudding is ready to enjoy. It’s the perfect dessert for coffee lovers, and it’s sure to hit the spot. Enjoy!
