Instructions:
- Prepare the Bread: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Toast the bread cubes on a baking sheet for 10 to 15 minutes until golden and crunchy. Allow them to cool.
- Make the Pudding Base: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla essence, cinnamon powder, and salt. Add the toasted bread cubes to the liquid mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let the mixture sit for 15 to 20 minutes until the bread absorbs the liquid.
- Bake the Pudding: Transfer the bread and custard mixture to individual ramekins or a prepared 9×13-inch baking dish. Smooth the top with a spatula and bake for 30-35 minutes until set and golden brown on top.
- Prepare the Golden Caramel: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, dissolve granulated sugar in water. Once dissolved, add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the mixture turns into a rich caramel hue.
- Let the Caramel Cool: Remove the caramel from heat and slowly stir in butter, heavy cream, and a pinch of salt. Be cautious as the mixture may bubble up. Stir until smooth.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once the pudding is baked, let it cool slightly. Drizzle the warm golden caramel sauce over the top, allowing it to seep into the cracks. Serve the pudding warm, optionally topped with extra caramel sauce.
Variations:
- Experiment with different flavorings such as almond extract, rum, or orange zest for a unique twist.
- Add chopped nuts like pecans or almonds for added crunch and flavor.
- Serve with a side of fruit compote or whipped cream to complement the rich caramel sauce.
