Coconut Bread Pudding

Ingredients

• 4 slices of stale bread (or 2 bread rolls)
• 220 grams light brown sugar
• 350 grams milk
• 100 grams desiccated coconut
• 3 eggs ((large))
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. 1

   Place the milk into a heat-proof mixing bowl or into a medium-sized saucepan. Using either the microwave or the stop top, heat the milk until it is about the same temperature as a hot cup of tea or coffee. Place the brown sugar and vanilla into the milk and whisk until all the sugar has dissolved. Tear up the bread into 3cm by 3cm pieces and toss into the milk. Gently fold in and allow to sit for 10-20 minutes.

2. 2

   Preheat the oven to 180°C/355F, and choose your 1-2 litre baking dish.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, beat the eggs together using a fork, until the eggs are well combined. Then stir in the coconut.

4. 4

   After the bread has finished soaking, fold in the egg and coconut mixture. Pour the pudding into your baking dish and bake for approximately 30 minutes. The centre will be just slightly jiggly when you take it out.

5. 5

   Allow the pudding to cool down a bit and serve with custard, ice cream or some cream.
