Coconut Bread and Butter Pudding With Caramelised Bananas
Bread and butter pudding is an old classic British pud, and whilst it is delicious on its own, made with coconut milk it is inspired. This new take on an old classic is packed with vanilla, cardamon, and cinnamon, wrapped around a delicious unctuous coconut creamy taste.
One of the secrets to cooking this classic dessert is to cook it slowly in a medium oven for over na hour, if you cook it to fast the egg custard base just turns into an omelette. Another secret is to let it sit for an hour so that the bread soaks up the liquid. Although you can layer it anyway you like in this instance I made the bread stack up high so that it had crispness to it when it was cooked.
You can use any bread you like, raisin bread is fantastic, as is panetonne, as is a sweet jewish bread, a fruit loaf, or just white bread.I have even made it with brown bread in the past.
