There are many different variations of bread pudding throughout Latin America, but this Colombian one is my favorite! This bread pudding is a great dessert for entertaining because it tastes better the next day, so make it one day ahead.
INGREDIENTS
(8 servings)
1 loaf white bread, cubed
3 cups milk
1 can (14 oz) condensed milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4 beaten eggs
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ cup sugar
DIRECTIONS
1. Place the bread in a large baking pan and bake in a 400° F oven about 5 minutes.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, condensed milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and the beaten eggs and mix well.
3. Add bread cubes to milk mixture. Let it stand for appromaximately 20 minutes or until bread absorbs most of the mixture.
4. Pour the bread-pudding mixture into a baking pan. Bake uncovered in a 350° f oven for 1 hour or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

do I need to cute out the brown crust off the bread? Or can I just cut the bread into cubes with crust and all?

I made this bread pudding last week and my kids loved it! It was perfect and delicious. Thank you for the recipe.
I’m letting my breadcrumbs soak right now. I LOVE bread pudding and I LOVE LOVE LOVE Colombian food. You didn’t write where the sugar should be added so I just added it to the mixing bowl with the milk, eggs, etc. I hope that’s where it went!
China- That is right!

Hola Erica,
This bread pudding looks amazing – can’t wait to make it. Do you use a regular loaf of white bread, like the Wonder brand? Gracias!
Do you have a rum sauce for this? I remeber having an amazingly lite rum sause that really made it jump. It may just be something my grandmother did.
Bruce- I don’t have a rum sauce for this recipe!
