Servings: 8 servings
Calories: 264kcal
Ingredients
- 5 cups French bread (cubed. Italian bread works too. If the loaf is too hard to slice, spray it all over lightly with water and place in the microwave for 15 seconds. Check loaf and continue warming for 15-second intervals until soft enough to cut.)
- 3 cups almond milk (If you're nut-free or soy-free, choose accordingly)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 banana
- ½ cup strawberries
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup sugar (vegan cane sugar works too)
For bourbon sauce:
- 1 cup nondairy milk
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon bourbon
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup sugar (add more of less based on your preference)
Instructions
Make the pudding:
- Place the bread cubes in a casserole dish.
- In a blender, blitz the nondairy milk, banana, strawberries, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar.
- Pour the custard evenly over the bread cubes and let stand 30 minutes. Press down on the bread cubes a few times with the back of a spoon or ladle to ensure they steep in the custard. If you want to make this the next morning, you can cover with plastic wrap at this time and refrigerate.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Place the casserole in the middle rack and bake 45 minutes.
Make the bourbon sauce:
- Whisk all ingredients for the sauce in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Continue cooking for a couple of minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly. Add more sugar if you want your sauce sweeter. Turn off heat.
- Serve the pudding drizzled with the bourbon sauce.
