Caramelized Banana Bread Pudding
Can a dessert be both homey and decadent? Absolutely, when you
combine a classic bread pudding with caramel sauce and caramelized
bananas. A dollop of whipped cream or ice cream takes it right over
the top.
1. Grease the bottom and sides of an 8x8 baking pan with butter.
Sprinkle 1 Tbsp of the sugar of over the bottom and sides of
the pan.
2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with ½ cup of the sugar, caramel
sauce, vanilla, and salt until well combined.
3. Add the whole milk and heavy cream and whisk until well combined.
4. Add the bread cubes, toss to coat, and refrigerate for at least 30
minutes and up to 2 hours.
5. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and top with the
banana slices.
6. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 2 Tbsp sugar. Spray a piece
of aluminum foil with cooking spray, then put it greased side
down on the baking pan. Place the baking pan on the broil/bake
pan, then slide the pan into the lower rack position.
7. Set to Bake at 325˚F for 45 minutes. When timer ends, carefully
remove the foil, placing any bananas that stick back on the pudding.
8. Slide the pan back into the lower rack position. Press the Dual
Cook button. Set the rst cook function to Bake at 325˚F for 10
minutes. After setting rst cook function, press the No. 2 button,
set the second cook function to Broil on high for 3 minutes, then
press the Start/Stop button. The unit will automatically go from
Bake to Broil and will turn off automatically when the broil time ends.
9. The top of the pudding should be dark golden-brown at the end
of cooking. Let cool briey, then serve with more caramel sauce
and whipped cream or ice cream, if you like.
