How To Make white chocolate pecan caramel bread pudding

  • Step 1
    Grease 13x9 inch oblong pan with butter; set aside. Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Place bread cubes in large bowl.
  • Step 2
    In medium saucepan whisk milk and sweetened condensed milk combine. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until scalding. Remove from heat and whisk in chocolate until melted and smooth.
  • Step 3
    In small bowl, whisk vanilla and eggs to combine. Slowly whisk 1/2 cup warm milk mixture into egg mixture to combine. Whisk this mixture back into milk mixture. Pour 1/2 mixture over bread cubes and let soak into bread, stir gently. Pour into pan. Sprinkle pecans over top.
  • Step 4
    Combine cream and sugar for caramel sauce. Heat milk and sugar until sugar melts. Stir in remaining ingredients. Drizzle over pudding. Pour remaining milk mixture over caramel.
