Traditional Irish soda bread pudding with Irish cream
A great twist on a traditional bread pudding using Irish soda bread and Irish cream. Easy to make recipe - great to serve as pudding or sweet treat after dinner.
Equipment
- large deep dish oven safe
Ingredients
- 4-6 large slices white soda bread about 1/2 loaf, but it depends on how big your loaf is
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 50 g seedless raisins or sultanas this is about a handful (as a measurement)
- 1 tbsp butter plus extra tablespoon for greasing your baking dish
- pinch of fine salt
- 50 ml Irish Cream to add to milk and bake with
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Cream topping
- 150 ml heavy cream (double cream) cream that can be whipped
- tiny pinch of fine salt
- 1 tbsp Irish Cream (or more to your liking)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C (or 350 F) - medium gas oven heat.
- Prepare a deep baking dish by spreading butter around the bottom and sides
- Whisk the eggs with sugar and pinch of salt until light.
- Add the milk, Irish cream, vanilla essence to the eggs and whisk until incorporated.
- Arrange your bread slices into the baking dish. You can arrange them sideways (sort of stack them standing up) or you can do layers. I usually do layers, so I add a layer of bread, sprinkle a little bit of the seedless raisins, pour the egg mixture on top to moisten the bread and then carry on with the next layer. Depending on your baking dish you should have enough to do about 3 layers.
- Once you've used up all the bread, egg mixture and the raisins, leave the baking dish for a 10 minutes or so, so that the egg mixture can soak up into the bread before it starts to bake (this makes the bread pudding really soft).
- Place in the oven and bake for about 25 minutes until it's golden in colour and nicely baked on the top.
- Serve with whipped cream (ingredients above) or just pour a bit more Irish Cream on the top. It's also perfect with vanilla icecream.
