✅ Introduction
Raspberry bread pudding is a cozy, homey dessert that blends soft bread, creamy custard, and bursts of fresh berries. It’s a perfect way to use leftover bread and turn it into something rich, sweet, and satisfying. Whether served warm for breakfast, dessert, or brunch, this dish brings both nostalgia and elegance to the table.
✅ Ingredients
Serves 6–8
Bread & Fruit
- 6–8 cups of slightly stale brioche or white bread, cubed
- 2 cups fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)
Custard Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups milk (or 1 cup milk + 1 cup cream for richer texture)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp lemon zest (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Optional Toppings
- Powdered sugar
- Whipped cream
- Vanilla sauce or custard sauce
✅ Instructions (Step by Step)
- Prep the Bread
- Cut the bread into cubes and place them in a greased baking dish. Scatter raspberries evenly throughout.
- Make the Custard
- In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, lemon zest, and salt until smooth.
- Combine
- Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread and raspberries. Lightly press the bread so it absorbs the liquid.
- Rest
- Let the mixture soak for 10–20 minutes (or cover and chill for up to 1 hour).
- Bake
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F).
- Bake for 35–45 minutes, until the top is golden and the custard is set.
- Serve
- Enjoy warm with whipped cream, vanilla sauce, or fresh raspberries on top.
✅ Methods (Expanded)
- Baking Method: Classic oven bake gives a golden top and custardy middle.
- Steam-Bake Method: Placing the dish in a water bath yields extra creaminess.
- Air Fryer Variation: Bake at 160°C in small ramekins for 10–12 minutes.
✅ Formation (Assembly Idea)
- Layer ½ the bread cubes, then half the raspberries.
- Pour half the custard.
- Repeat with remaining bread, berries, and custard.
- Lightly press to ensure soaking.
✅ History
Bread pudding dates back to the 11th–12th century in Europe, invented as a way to use stale bread. What started as a “poor man’s pudding” evolved into a beloved dessert around the world.
