✓ USDA-verified nutrition data

Ingredients

• 8 cups Brioche cubes
• 3 Bananas
• 4 Eggs
• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 3/4 cup Brown sugar
• 4 tbsp Butter
• 1 tsp Vanilla
• 1 tsp Cinnamon
• 1/4 cup Dark rum
• 2 tbsp Powdered sugar

Steps

1. Toss the brioche cubes with melted butter and toast at 350°F for 10 minutes until the edges crisp. Toasted bread means custardy centers, not mush.
2. Whisk the eggs, cream, half the brown sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon; pour over the bread and soak 20 minutes, pressing down so every cube drinks.
3. Bake covered at 350°F for 25 minutes, then uncovered 15 minutes until puffed and golden.
4. Meanwhile, caramelize the sliced bananas in butter with the remaining brown sugar 3 minutes, then add the rum and flambé or simmer 1 minute until the alcohol cooks off.
5. Spoon the warm pudding into bowls, top with the rum bananas and their sauce, and dust with powdered sugar.
