Decadent banana and walnut bread pudding made with creamy coconut milk and eggs. Perfect for preparing ahead as a luscious dessert.
Ingredients:
  • 0.5 cup butter, divided
  • 1 (16 ounce) loaf day-old French bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts, divided
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 4 very ripe bananas, mashed
Instructions:
  • Prepare the baking dish by greasing it with 1 tablespoon of butter. Melt the remaining butter in a saucepan over low heat. Spread the bread cubes evenly in the dish, then drizzle the melted butter over them.
  • Toast walnuts in a dry skillet over gentle heat, stirring often, until they are lightly golden and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Be attentive to prevent burning. Quickly transfer into a bowl to cool. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, gently beat eggs to break yolks, then add condensed milk, coconut milk, cream, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt. Whisk until smooth. Mix in mashed banana and 3/4 cup toasted walnuts. Pour mixture over bread, ensuring all cubes are coated well. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup toasted walnuts. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8 to 12 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and then cover the dish with foil after removing the plastic wrap.
  • Place in the oven already heated for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake until golden on top and edges pull away, around 45 minutes. Cool before serving.
