Eggnog Bread Pudding with Coconut Sauce

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Eggnog Bread Pudding with Coconut Sauce.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and generously greasing a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter to ensure your delicious creation doesn’t stick.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine the cubed bread and plump raisins, letting their flavors mingle before transferring this delightful mixture into your prepared loaf pan.

3. Step 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the creamy eggnog, eggs, white sugar, and a splash of vanilla extract until everything is beautifully blended.

4. Step 4

   Pour this luscious mixture over the bread and raisins, allowing it to soak in and create a rich, custardy texture.

5. Step 5

   Pop the loaf pan into your preheated oven and bake for about 40 to 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, signaling that your bread pudding is perfectly set.

6. Step 6

   While the bread pudding is baking and filling your kitchen with irresistible aromas, it’s time to whip up the Coquito sauce.

7. Step 7

   In a saucepan over medium heat, melt together the brown sugar and butter, stirring until they’re well combined.

8. Step 8

   Then, gently stir in the heavy cream and a splash of coconut-flavored rum, letting the mixture simmer until it thickens and reduces to about 1 ½ cups, which should take around 5 minutes.

   Once your bread pudding is golden and ready, serve it warm, drizzled generously with the rich Coquito sauce for a truly indulgent treat.
