Ingredients 

For bread pudding

  • ½ loaf brioche bread ~ 1lb, cut or tear into bite sizes OR
  • ½ c dried raisin
  • 2 whole egg
  • 2 yolks
  • ½ c sugar
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon powder
  • 1.5 c heavy cream

To grease baking pan

  • 2 oz unsalted butter melted

Coffee sauce

  • 1.5 tsp instant coffee powder
  • ½ c heavy cream
  • ½ c water
  • ½ c sugar

Instructions

  • Grease a baking pan with melted butter. Please don't use bottle spray oil because it doesn't have many flavors.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, sugar, and cinnamon powder until the mixture is smooth.
  • Add heavy cream and mix well.
  • Then, add pieces of brioche and raisins. Let the mixture sit to soak in the flavor for 2 hours in the mixing bowl, stirring occasionally. While waiting, you can refrigerate the mixture.

For the coffee sauce

  • While waiting for the bread to soak in the egg mixture, combine all the coffee sauce ingredients in a sauce pan and cook on medium heat.
  • Stir constantly to dissolve the sugar completely. Bring just to a boil, then turn off the heat.
  • Store the sauce in a well-covered container and refrigerate it for up to a week.

For bread pudding

  • Pre heat oven to 350F.
  • Carefully pour the bread mixture into butter greased baking pan. Try to rearrange raisin underneath the bread. Don't leave them on top because they might get burnt during baking.
  • Bake until the pudding is set in the center, about 30-40 minutes.
  • Let the bread pudding cool at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before unmolding and slicing.

Serving suggestion

  • To serve, cut the pudding into slices and top with coffee sauce. If desired, garnish with mint leaves.

Notes

Variations:
  • Chocolate bread pudding: omit the raisins, and add the same amount of chocolate chips into the egg mixture.
  • Banana bread pudding: omit the raisins, and add 1-2 over-ripe bananas (cut into slices) into the egg mixture.
  • Chocolate fudge sauce: omit the instant coffee powder and replace it with the same amount of chocolate chips. Combine heavy cream, sugar, and water in a saucepan. Bring to just a boil. Then, stir the cream mixture over the chocolate chips until they melt entirely.
