Ingredients
- 7-8 saffron strands
- 2 Tbsp. warm water
- 8 slices white bread
- 6 Tbsp. ghee or butter
- 14 oz. sweetened condensed milk (1 can)
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 tsp. cardamom powder
- 1/2 cup almonds finely chopped
- 1/4 cup pistachios finely chopped
Instructions
-
Soak saffron in warm water. Set aside.
-
Cut bread slices in half diagonally. (Note: You can trim the edges too if you like.)
-
Heat pan over medium heat. Fry the bread slices (in batches using 1.5 tablespoons ghee at a time). Cook until the slices are golden brown on both sides. Set aside.
-
Once the pan has cooled down, arrange the bread slices (overlapping) to completely cover the pan.
-
In large bowl, combine whole milk, condensed milk, cardamom powder and soaked saffron with the water.
-
Pour milk mixture over the bread slices until completely soaked. Set pan over medium-low heat. Cook between 8 to 10 minutes or until most of the milk is absorbed.*
-
Garnish bread pudding with chopped nuts. Serve warm with a dollop of vanilla ice cream.
Recipe Notes
- This pudding tastes best with white bread. You can use challah bread as well.
- Instead of slicing the bread, you can cube the bread slices.
- *Do not let the milk mixture evaporate completely while cooking. You’ll need a little bit of sauce to remain to keep the bread pudding moist.
- Stores well in refrigerator up to 3 days.
