Quick snacks: How to make custard bread pudding
A quick custard recipe made using store bought bread, milk and custard powder.
Equipment
- Steamer
Ingredients
- Bread slices-8
- Milk-2 cups
- Custard powder-3 tbsp
- Jaggery or Sugar-4 tbsp
- Cardamom powder-1/4 tsp
- Chocolate sauce-5-6 tbsp
- Sliced almonds-10 or almond flakes-2 tbsp
Instructions
- Toast the bread. Chop the bread into small chunks.
- Meanwhile, add custard powder in a small amount of cold milk.
- Boil the remaining milk in a pot and add sugar.
- Add the custard mixture and mix well.
- Cook for few minutes until it becomes thick.
- Turn off the heat and keep the custard sauce aside for cooling.
- Use baking paper to cover the pan. Layer the bread pieces. Pour the custard sauce and level it.
- Now, add the chocolate sauce and sprinkle the sliced almonds.
- Layer the bread pieces one more time.
- Pour the remaining custard sauce.
- Add the chocolate sauce and level it in the refrigerator for 8 hours.
- Steam the bread in a steamer for 20 minutes.
- Once the pudding is cool enough, decorate with sliced almonds.
- Serve chilled for better taste.
Notes
- Toasting makes the bread dry. It absorbs the custard better.
- You can use cooking chocolate or normal milk chocolate instead of chocolate sauce.
- If you like the almonds without skin, soak in hot water for 5 minutes. When it is cooled down squeeze the nuts to remove the skin.
- I am using a stovetop steamer. When you steam the pudding in the steamer, cover the lid with a cloth to prevent the water droplets from dripping into the pudding.
