How to Make Belizean Bread Pudding

Step-by-Step

1Break up the bread into a large bowl. Add the sugar, raisins, butter, cinnamon, and mix gently with a large spoon.
2In a saucepan over medium heat, mix together the evaporated milk, coconut milk, and water; cook until hot.
3Add creamy mixture to the bowl with bread pieces, and set aside until bread is soggy. Then add the alcohol (or vanilla extract) and mix well.
4Preheat oven to 375°F/190°C,.
5Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan. Pour bread pudding into greased pan, and bake 90 minutes, or until the bread pudding is crunchy. Let cool completely.
6Turn out and place crunchy side up. It's delicious as is, or even better topped with ice cream, custard, or whipped cream.
