Ingredients
3/4 loaf of Irish Soda Bread (about 8 cups cubbed)
4 eggs
3/4 cup brown sugar OR 1/2 cup golden monkfruit sweetener
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt
Optional accompaniment: caramel sauce OR keto caramel (no-sugar)
Directions
- Start by slicing the hard bottom crust from your soda bread (discard or snack on it with some butter) and cut the bread into 1” cubes. You should end up with about 8 cups of cubes.
- Put the bread in a mixing bowl. Combine the eggs, milk, cream, sugar or monkfruit, vanilla, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Pour the mixture over the bread cubes and stir to fully incorporate. Cover the bowl and let it sit for 1 hour. If you’d like to serve with caramel, make it while the mixture sits.
- Preheat the oven 350° F and lightly grease a 10” skillet or similarly sized baking dish.
- Pour the bread and custard mixture into the skillet and cover with foil.
- Bake for 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake another 15 minutes. When the pudding is done baking, the center will read 160° on a thermometer.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for ten minutes. If you’re serving with caramel, pour it on the top of the hot bread pudding. Serve hot!
