How to Make Coconut Bread Pudding
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the cubed bread, sugar, and spices. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the bread mixture and gently stir to combine. Be careful not to overmix; some bread pieces can remain slightly dry.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly.
- Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until the pudding is set and golden brown around the edges. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the bread pudding cool for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or toasted coconut flakes.
