Ingredients
- ¾ cup evaporated fat-free milk
- 2/3 cup skim milk
- ½ California avocado
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp dark rum
- 5 cups cubed crusty whole wheat bread
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- 3 tbsp dark rum
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 tbsp half-and-half, divided
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- The Bread Pudding:
- In a blender, combine the evaporated milk, skim milk and avocado. Puree until smooth.
- Add the eggs, cocoa powder, maple syrup and dark rum. Puree until combined.
- Place the bread cubes in a large bowl and pour the avocado mixture over the bread. Stir to completely coat the bread.
- Lightly coat an 8- by 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray. Transfer the bread mixture to the baking pan, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 4 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the baking pan in a 9- by 13-inch baking dish. Pour hot water into the large baking dish until it reaches about 1-inch up the side of the smaller baking pan.
- Bake until a sharp knife inserted in the center of the bread pudding comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes.
- Cut into 9 pieces. Serve each piece with 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons of the sauce.
- The Sauce:
- In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup, rum and butter. Bring to a boil of medium-high heat, whisking frequently.
- Add 3 tablespoons of half-and-half, reduce to a simmer and cook, whisking frequently, until the sauce starts to thicken, 7 to 8 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and whisk in the remaining tablespoon of half-and-half and the salt.
