How to Make Instant Bread Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 3-quart casserole dish with butter-flavored cooking spray.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix, evaporated milk, almond extract, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth.
  4. Add the cubed bread to the pudding mixture, gently stirring until all pieces are evenly coated and saturated. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
  5. Pour the bread pudding mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean and the pudding is set.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!
