BREAD PUDDING 1 Large French Bread 6 Eggs 1 Tablespoon of Vanilla Extract 1 Stick of Butter 1 Quart Heavy Cream 1 (14oz) can of Condensed Milk 1 (12oz) can of Evaporated Milk 1 & 1/2 cups of Sugar 2 Teaspoons of Cinnamon 1/4 Teaspoon of Nutmeg Rum Sauce 1/2 Stick of Butter 1/4 Cup Light Brown Sugar 1/2 Tablespoon of Vanilla Extract 1/4 Cup of Dark Rum 1/2 Cup of Whole Milk 1/4 Cup Powdered Sugar 1/4 Cup of Whole Milk (To mix with cornstarch) 1 Tablespoon of Cornstarch Start out by preheating your oven to 300°. Cut the bread into 1-2 inch cubes by first cutting the bread into two halves top and bottom, then cutting all the way down the middle from the top of each half. From there slice into 1-2 inch cubes. Place the pieces of bread on a large pan, and bake in the oven for 30 minutes. When done, place the bread in a large bowl allowing it to cool. Grease a 9x12 baking dish using the stick of butter. Only use enough to grease the dish. Melt the remaining butter in a container, and allow to cool. Gently scramble the eggs in a small bowl, then add them to a mixer mixing bowl. Add the 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, heavy cream, condensed milk, and evaporated milk. Turn the mixer on to a low setting, then sprinkle in the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Allow the ingredients to mix for about a minute. Pour the mixture over the bread in the bowl. Place a lengthy loose sheet of cling wrap over the bread. Take another bowl just a tad smaller than the bowl that the bread is in, fill it with a small amount of water, and place it on top the bread. Gradually add more water so that the top bowl presses down on the bread, allowing all of the bread to submerge in the liquid. Be cautious as you do this. If the top bowl is too heavy, liquid will spill out of the bottom bowl. Let this sit for 30 minutes. About midway through remove the cling wrap and gently fold the bottom bread to the top. Place another layer of cling wrap over the bread, and then place the bowl of water back on top. After 30 minuets of soaking, pour the bread into the baking dish. Gently press down the bread so that some of the remaining liquid surfaces. Cover with foil, and bake in the oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes. When the time is up, remove the foil, and bake for an additional 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 20-30 minutes. During this time you will get started on the rum sauce. Heat a small pan on a medium low heat. Add the half stick of butter. When the butter has melted, add the brown sugar. Blend evenly. Add the 1/2 tablespoon of vanilla extract. Once you have a smooth mixture, stir in the rum. Let cook for a couple of minutes allowing the alcohol to cook out. Next add the 1/2 cup of milk and powdered sugar. Mix well. Off to the side stir in the tablespoon of cornstarch in with 1/4 cup of milk. Blend in evenly. Add the mixture to the sauce by pouring and stirring at the same time. Bring the sauce to a boil, then turn the heat off. Stir constantly for about five minutes. Pour the sauce over the bread pudding and serve. Enjoy!

Just made this recipe and it was my first time trying bread pudding. When I tell you there was nothing left, there was NOTHING left. The only thing I added was a 1/2 tsp of rum extract and rum soaked raisins. Phenomenal!! Thanks so much CN❤️

You know you should be awarded the 'SLAP YO MAMA' award for that bread pudding recipe! I will be making that...yum!

Looks delicious, thank you for sharing and taking the time to upload your recipe..God Bless You!

Yes, great minds think alike! I'm making bread pudding for my mom's birthday next week! I make an orange vanilla rum sauce with homemade orange vanilla ice cream to match. Awesome sauce, Cajun Ninja! Thanks for sharing your recipe with me!

Omg!! Your bread pudding looks amazing. I must try this recipe.

Thank you for sharing this recipe. I followed this recipe for a result that was a hit at our crawfish boil. Lots of compliments, our guest loved it. Delicious!!

Yummy... I will take a piece.. I love bread pudding 👍

I'm just here for the rum sauce. Lol

OMG...I'm most definitely trying this for the holiday's!!

I’ve made this a few times it’s awesome!! This last time I didn’t have time to cook for the last 30 mins and make the sauce so I put it in the fridge and the next day cooked for 30mins and made the sauce and it was perfect!! Highly recommend this!!

My husband made this bread pudding for Christmas after watching the video. It was a hit!!! Best bread pudding ever.

Decadent desserts! Great advice; "you do you" - can't wait to try another one of your fantastic recipes. As always, thank you for sharing! * I bought too many hot dog buns for the BBQ and ... hating too throw food away, I used them to make Bread Pudding. They were surprisingly great, almost like a brioche.

I myself never liked bread pudding bc they made it too soggy. But after seeing this delicious recipe. I most definitely will be making it. Thanks Cajun Ninja you're an all around ninja 😄 a chef and a baker 🤣🤣. Keep those recipes coming 💯☝️😃😎. Much love from Iberia parish

Oh My God. I just got done eating my first piece of this fabulous bread pudding. It is the best bread pudding I’ve ever had in my life. I’m not a fan of any kind of liquor in my sweets, so I left the rum out. It was still sooooooooo good. Don’t have and doubt about this recipe, it’s a ten out of ten. Thank you, Cajun Ninja for sharing it with us.

I made your bread pudding and it was absolutely delicious and my mother said it was the best she ever had 💣

Thank you so much for sharing this recipe , I've tried it and it was absolutely amazing. my grandchildren loved it also. again thank you 😋😋😋

Woooooo Weeeeee! Just made this Bread Pudding and omg......came out so good! Didn’t have any rum so I used Bourbon 🥃. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe : ). Will be making this again! You and your beautiful family have a blessed Thanksgiving.

Whoa that looks incredibly delicious 😋😍

I've made this recipe like at least 6 times already. It never disappoints 👌👌👌👌

Love the recipe, love your sense of humor & theatrics during the taste test, I still laugh weneva I think of it. 🤣

Love this 😊😊❤❤bread pudding recipe Tracey from Austin Texas

That will knock ya right of the ol Keto diet ! I'll be trying this one ... Thanks !

Yes!...going to make...looks delicious!!

I think you nailed it! Looks really good!!!!

Love the way you make the rum sauce. I put raisins in the pudding. Bumps up the flavor. 😋

VERY GOOD take on bread pudding. I also toast my bread before soaking it, to get the moisture out. I also melt a stick of butter and pour it over the bread before I toast it. It gives the bread a golden texture and a buttery flavor. I like Golden Raisins or Dried Cranberries, I let them soak in the custard, that way they are nice and plump when I add the custard to the bread. Oan I LOVE the special effects :))

love the way you meticulously prepared your pudding and it just looks so good.. wet mixture was fully absorbed by the toasted bread

Now you're killing me, this is my favorite dessert.

This looks so so yummy! I can't wait to put a low carb twist on this! Thank you for sharing!

Yummy ...What a cutie and he cooks too, looks delicious

Dude I love your videos! You taught me how to do gumbo and everyone loves it!!!

Looks absolutely delicious!

I love making that during the Holidays with 'Pannetone Italian Bread' ..try it, you'll like it ! Great recipe, thanks

I made this bread pudding several times and this is THE BEST one I've ever had!! I double the rum sauce recipe and pour half on then save the other half for when I have my piece for extra sauce 😋🤤

My brother made this and brought it to our family gathering yesterday and OMG it’s the best bread pudding I’ve ever had!

Just made this recipe and it is absolutely the best bread pudding I personally have ever had !!! Took a while to make but worth every minute !

I grew up eating bread pudding with fruit cocktail. But this looks awesome

This looks fantastic will be making this for me.thanks

Just finish baking this for Thanksgiving and it is so delicious 😋. I used a Pyrex glass dish 9.5x 15. because I could see that I had a lot of bread pudding to bake.

I'm happy it has no raisins! And that rum sauce looks delish!!!

You’re video is so cool! As are you. Looks like an awesome recipe, I think I’ll make it for Xmas. We’re all on low carb diets, but when we cheat, we cheat good!

Sounds amazing! I’m suddenly very hungry lol!

Yummy!! My fam is from Crowley and I grew up on this stuff. Where the raisins😉💕

You are such a great cook. I wish you would post more often.

Good Lord that looks good!!!

O M G.....I'm here my friend😋👍❤

Top bread pudding, will try to make it soon thanks 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Yummy yummy in my tummy!

Thanks to you.......mine is in the oven right now. Can’t wait to see how it turns out.

I'm gonna buy the ingrediants and make one tomorrow! I'm drooling. I am a bread pudding connoisseur. I order it whenever I go eat out. The best one I ever had was at Johnny Carinos in Lafayette. Naturally, it closed. Great video. Piyaaa!

I was thumbing through Facebook and came across a few of your videos. Your personality is amazing and your videos have great content. Therefore, I subscribed and shared your video. My mom prepared bread pudding with raisins when I was younger. I've been searching for a video similar to her recipe and I'm glad I came across yours. Thanks for the easy steps and I will definitely be making this soon! Thanks again.

I just would like you to know that from the first time I’ve made this recipe for one of our Thanksgiving desserts a year ago to the dozens of times after that, everyone I’ve ever given it to has been completely obsessed. I mean they say this is their new favorite dessert and beg me to make pans of it. Louisiana native, born and raised ⚜️ only difference is I double the rum sauce recipe cause my people love theirs drenched in it! Plus this is even better after sitting in the fridge for a day and then heating it back up in the oven 😍 my grandmother will eat an entire pan in a day and leave none for anyone else! Lol! Love your recipes, never have they failed me once, from this to gumbo to shrimp and grits! Keep up the good work! 👍🏻

I don’t know how I missed this video. I will be making this.

Hi After making several bread puddings I experimented and use a quart o French vanilla creamer. And trying different flavored creamers in the sauce..you should try it turned out great !!! Also mixed my cinnamon and nutmeg with the sugar and they didn’t clump up.

Oh man, that is making me drool.

So glad I found your channel🌷 I m groom Louisiana

Dude, sweet mana from heaven! I just finished it and ate a slice.. wow!

Definitely going to make this🤤

Great video. Looks amazing

Oh my Louisiana 😍

Thank you for this recipe. I am excited to make it!!

Looks delicious 😊

yum, ready to have some.

I made this in a 9x13 pan. And it was busting over the top. I don't know how you fit it in a 9x12. That said, it's a very good bread pudding. I added raisins because that's how we like it. Unfortunately I couldn't make the sauce because I couldn't get my hands on rum. I tried, but the employees looked at me like I had eight eyes and dropped out of the sky. It's like I was the first person ever in history to ask them to get something alcoholic from behind the counter. So I just told them to forget it. Instead I got some vanilla bean Häagen-Dazs, brought it up to a boil, thickened it with cornstarch, and added a bunch of rum extract. Not the same, but it was very good And I'm now going to save the technique as a cheat code. It's a bonus that I live within throwing distance of a bakery that makes the perfect type of French bread for this. All in all, this is definitely a keeper, though I think I'll half the recipe in the future. We stuffed ourselves on it for 3 days and couldn't even finish the last hunk.

Just took this out of the oven and can’t wait to eat it!!! The meaty jambalaya is in the oven now for the hour/ no peak cooking!! Eating Cajun tonight!!

Man I made the Pudding tonight and it was just as incredible as I remember from home. Keep it up

I came for the sauce too!! I use bourbon and double the recipe. Gotta have that at my plate to dip in. And I'm greedy too! 😊🤭

I made some bread pudding today with blueberries in it really puts it over the top.

I can't wait to make this!

Made this yesterday! It was a hit!

Yum , gonna try this👌

Looks delicious. I'll add peaches and pecans to mine.

Thank you for the recipe!

Might have been one of the bet things I’ve ever tasted.....Count me in as a new subscriber

We made this up in Minnesota this past Sunday. It was gone in less than 48 hours and next time I'm not sharing because it was sooo good. ♥️ I didn't really make it but my partner did. He's from Louisiana and has introduced me to your recipes. So far soooo good!

I am making this very soon and i have plenty of rum on the bar nobody wants, LOL thank u so much!

Beautiful 🎉

My favorite!

Now that's what I'm talking about!

My mom made it moist and smooth and rich like this with a chocolate sauce, I will try it your way.

Great Job!
