A warm, cozy dessert for special occasions! I came up with this recipe for a family, holiday get-together. I was looking to marry the tropical ingredients that abound here in South Florida with a dessert that brings to mind the festive, holiday season. To take this bread pudding over the top, I caramelize the bananas and then spoon them over the warm bread pudding. A salted butterscotch sauce gives it just the perfect sweet and salty flavor combination.

How To Make salted butterscotch banana bread pudding

Step 1

To make bread pudding: Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray a 13x9 pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside. In a large bowl, toss together bread, nuts, coconut, and butterscotch chips. Spread on pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, evaporated milk, condensed milk, light brown sugar, vanilla extract, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt. Pour over bread mixture into the baking dish, making sure the bread is completely soaked in egg mixture. Cover; let sit for 30 minutes. Dot with small pieces of butter. Bake, uncovered, 45-55 minutes or until top is crisp and golden brown.

Step 2

To make the butterscotch sauce: In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in light brown sugar and corn syrup. Bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring, until thick, syrupy, and golden in color, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in cream and kosher salt. Cover to keep warm.
Step 3

To make caramelized bananas: In a large, nonstick skillet, over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons light brown sugar. Once the butter-sugar mixture becomes bubbly, add bananas. Cook, flipping once, about 2-3 minutes per side, or until caramelized on both sides. Remove to a plate. (May need to work in batches to avoid overcrowding bananas. If so, add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of light brown sugar to the skillet before adding the second batch of bananas.)
Step 4

To serve, top bread pudding with bananas and spoon butterscotch sauce over top. Serve immediately. If desired (to make this an even more decadent dessert), serve with vanilla ice cream.
