How to make Cinnamon Swirl Bread Pudding with Caramel Sauce recipe - Dare I say that warm bread pudding might be the most tempting dessert ever? There’s something about digging my spoon into warm, sweet, cinnamon-scented, custard-like pudding that makes me giddy. As if this dessert weren’t decadent enough, I’ve topped it off with a buttery caramel sauce for your enjoyment. Have the kids help by topping with ice cream or whipped cream.

Ingredients:
5 cups 1⁄2-inch-cubed sweet Hawaiian bread
1 1⁄2 cups granulated sugar
5 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1⁄2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons sour cream

Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Spread the bread cubes in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Add the sugar, eggs, milk, heavy cream, cinnamon, and vanilla to a large bowl and whisk until well combined. Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes and bake 35 to 40 minutes, until set. Remove from oven.

3. To make the caramel sauce, add the brown sugar and the water to a small saucepan over medium heat and stir to combine. Let bubble and boil for 5 minutes, then add the butter and sour cream, stirring until smooth. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the warm bread pudding and serve.
