_Picture this: You’re craving something absolutely divine that’ll make your taste buds dance with joy. Well, honey, let me introduce you to my grandmother’s secret weapon – the most heavenly Sweet Potato Pecan Bread Pudding you’ll ever taste!_
Y’all, this isn’t your ordinary bread pudding. This is what happens when Southern comfort food meets pure indulgence, and let me tell you, it’s a match made in heaven!
Before we dive in, if you’re loving these local recipe gems, make sure to follow me on Newsbreak for daily doses of deliciousness that’ll make your family think you’ve been secretly taking culinary classes!
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 4 large sweet potatoes (the orange ones, darling!)
– 1 loaf of day-old brioche bread
– 4 eggs (room temperature, pretty please)
– 2 cups heavy cream
– 1 cup brown sugar
– 1 stick butter (melted)
– 1 cup chopped pecans
– 2 tsp vanilla extract
– 1 tbsp cinnamon
– 1/2 tsp nutmeg
– Pinch of salt
Now, let’s get cooking (and trust me, your kitchen is about to smell like heaven)!
1. First things first, peel and cube those sweet potatoes. Boil them until tender – you know, when you can stick a fork in them and they’re not playing hard to get.
1. While those are cooking, tear your brioche into chunks. Don’t be too perfect about it – we’re going for rustic charm here, not Martha Stewart precision!
1. In a large bowl, whisk together your eggs, cream, brown sugar, and melted butter. Add vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. This is where the magic starts happening!
1. Mash those cooked sweet potatoes and fold them into your mixture. It should look like a beautiful orange dream!
1. Fold in your bread chunks, making sure every piece gets some love from that custard mixture. Let it sit for about 30 minutes – patience is a virtue, sweetie!
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Transfer everything to a buttered 9×13 baking dish, top with those pecans, and pop it in the oven for about 45-50 minutes.
The result? A warm, custardy, perfectly spiced creation that’ll have everyone begging for seconds!
