Ingredients
- French bread
- 8 cups, cubed
- Blackberries
- 2 cups, fresh or frozen
- Granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup
- Heavy cream
- 2 cups
- Milk
- 1 cup
- Eggs
- 4 large
- Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon
- Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Powdered sugar
- for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the cubed French bread and blackberries, gently tossing to mix.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Pour the milk mixture evenly over the bread and blackberries. Gently press down on the bread cubes to ensure they are fully soaked in the liquid.
- Allow the mixture to sit for 10-15 minutes, letting the bread absorb the creamy goodness.
- Transfer the soaked mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pudding has set in the center.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
- Dust the top with powdered sugar just before serving for an elegant finish.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider mixing in a splash of bourbon or almond extract to the cream mixture.
- Try substituting half of the blackberries with raspberries or blueberries for a mixed berry version.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a decadent treat.
