Sticky Toffee Bread Pudding
We’ve taken classic bread pudding and given it a mini makeover. Dates bring natural sweetness to the party and, thanks to the pudding mix, there’s a ton of luscious, caramel goodness in there, too. Your Muffin Makers are a great tool for perfectly portioning desserts; not to mention, they’re made with microwave-safe silicone, saving you a whopping 10 minutes of cooking time in the microwave.
Ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup dried dates, pitted
- 1 cup milk, your choice
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 eggs
- 1⁄2 pkg Dulce de Leche Instant Pudding Mix
- 4 cups cubed, day-old bread or croutons
Preparation
- Tear dates in half and place in a bowl. Cover with water. Microwave 30 sec; set aside to hydrate.
- Place milk and butter in Multipurpose Steamer. Cover and microwave on high 3 min, or until butter is melted and mixture is hot.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk eggs and pudding mix until well combined.
- Stir bread cubes into hot butter mixture.
- Drain water from dates. Fold dates and egg mixture into soaked bread.
- Lightly brush Muffin Makers with oil. Divide mixture between wells so they are about 3⁄4 full. In two batches, microwave on high for 2.5 min. Or, bake in preheated 350° F oven for 15 min. Let cool in pan 5 min before unmolding.
- Top with caramel sauce and ice cream, if desired.
