So, get ready to dazzle your taste buds and delve into the juicy world of berries with this spell-binding Berry Brioche Bread Pudding recipe. Let’s get started!
Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need
- 1 loaf brioche, torn into chunks
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
Separately you’ll need a deep baking dish, whisk, and a mixing bowl.
In this recipe, the brioche and berries are the real MVPs. The soft, buttery brioche sucks up the custardy mixture making the bread pudding moist and delicious, while the berries add brightness and tartness to balance out the creaminess and prevent the dessert from being overly sweet.
If you can’t find brioche, a good quality challah or soft French bread can be subbed in. Any mix of berries works great here, use what you love or what’s in season!
How To Make Berry Brioche Bread Pudding
- Preheat your oven to 350��F (175��C). Grease your baking dish and scatter the torn brioche evenly in the dish. Sprinkle the berries over the brioche.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined. Pour this mixture over the brioche and berries. Let it sit for about 10 minutes so that the brioche can absorb the liquid.
- Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes or until the top is golden and the pudding has set. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean. Allow the pudding to cool before serving.
Tips For The Best Results
- Use stale or day-old bread. It soaks up the custard better than fresh.
- Bake the pudding immediately after the bread has soaked up the custard. This prevents the bread from disintegrating.
Storage Tips
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge. It will keep for up to 4 days.
