Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 4-6
Difficulty Level: Easy
Ingredients:
- 4 cups cubed bread (stale or slightly dried out)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (180°C).
- Prepare Bread Cubes:
- Cut the bread into bite-sized cubes. If the bread is fresh, you can leave it out for a bit to allow it to dry slightly.
- Make the Custard Mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
- Combine Bread and Custard:
- Place the bread cubes in the custard mixture, making sure they are well-coated. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
- Add Optional Ingredients:
- If desired, fold in raisins or chocolate chips into the bread mixture.
- Grease the Air Fryer Basket:
- Lightly grease the air fryer basket to prevent sticking.
- Transfer to Air Fryer Basket:
- Transfer the bread and custard mixture into the air fryer basket, spreading it evenly.
- Air Fry:
- Air fry at 350°F (180°C) for 25 minutes, or until the bread pudding is set and golden brown on top.
- Check for Doneness:
- Insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, the bread pudding is done.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the bread pudding to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Dust with Powdered Sugar (Optional):
- If desired, dust the top of the bread pudding with powdered sugar before serving.
- Serve Warm:
- Serve the air fryer bread pudding warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Enjoy!
- Enjoy this quick and delicious bread pudding made in the air fryer.
Note:
- Experiment with different types of bread, such as brioche or cinnamon swirl bread, for added flavor.
