http://www2.wkrg.com/mgmedia/image/140/105/302544/cuban-bread-pudding-03560/

INGREDIENTS:

2 1/2 cups of Sugar

8 or so slices of *Cuban Bread [broken into chunks]

1 Can of Condensed Milk

1 Can of Evaporated Milk

5 Eggs [whisked]

1 Tablespoon of Vanilla Extract

1/2 Bar of Guava Paste [Cut into Cubes]

EQUIPMENT:

Saucepan

Measuring Utensils

Spoon

Whisk

Knife

Bundt Pan

Outer Pan to Create a Bain Marie

METHOD:

A. Preparing the Bain Marie

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees

2. Set your outer Bain Marie Pan in Oven

3. Fill with enough Hot Water to go halfway up the sides of a Bundt Pan

4. Leave this in Oven while you work on next steps

B. Caramelizing the Bundt Pan

1. Set a Saucepan on Medium High Heat and add 1 Cup of Sugar with 1 Tablespoon of Water,-- stir till Sugar begins to Caramelize into a medium

golden color [do not burn into a brown].

2. Once done, Drizzle into a the bottom of the Bundt Pan and turn pan from side to side till sides are coated in the now Hardened Sugar Coat

C. Making the Bread Pudding Mixture

1. In a tall Mixing Bowl, add 1 Whole Can of Condensed Milk

2. Using the Empty Can of Condensed Milk, fill with Evaporated Milk and pour into Bowl

3. Add remaining 1 1/2 Cups of Sugar

4. Add 1 Tablespoon of the Vanilla Extract

5. Add 5 Eggs

6. Whisk all the ingredients together till incorporated and set aside

C. Putting it all Together

1. Let's return to the caramelized Bundt Pan -- using bread chunks, layer the bottom with about 1" of bread, then sprinkle the top of the bread with guava paste chunks, add another layer of bread to cover Guava

2. Add milk mixture let it run through and soak down to the bottom of bread [for about 20 minutes]

3. Then set in oven over Bain Marie and bake for about 40 minutes before you test for doneness -- keep checking to make sure bread pudding is ready before taking out

4. Once done, set on counter top and carefully run knife around edges of bread pudding to separate from Bundt Pan

5. Let cool for about 30 minutes before you invert it onto serving platter and enjoy!

D. Tips

1. You can serve with either Hot Rum Sauce or Vanilla Ice Cream or both!

* can use French Bread if Cuban not available]
