There are many different variations of bread pudding or Pudín de pan throughout Latin America, but this Colombian one is my favorite! This bread pudding is a great dessert for entertaining because it tastes better the next day, so make it one day ahead.
Pudín de Pan (Bread Pudding)
Ingredients
- 1 loaf white bread cubed
- 3 cups milk
- 1 can 14 oz condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 4 beaten eggs

- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, condensed milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and the beaten eggs and mix well.

There was no butter mentioned in the recipe. Is it possible it was forgotten? Thanks.
fela
do I need to cute out the brown crust off the bread? Or can I just cut the bread into cubes with crust and all?
Erica
Fela- I left the crust!

I'm letting my breadcrumbs soak right now. I LOVE bread pudding and I LOVE LOVE LOVE Colombian food. You didn't write where the sugar should be added so I just added it to the mixing bowl with the milk, eggs, etc. I hope that's where it went!
Erica
China- That is right!
Adriana
Gracias por la receta, yo soy de Panama y me encanta el Bread Pudding. En Panama le llamamos Mamallena. Se cocina bastante similar a tu receta Colombiana. Voy a tratar tu receta.
Conny Nichols
Adriana, será que la similitud en la comida de Panama y Colombia sea porque ustedes fueron parte de Colombia hasta hace tan solo un poquito mas de cien años? Jmmmm....

Hola Erica,
This bread pudding looks amazing - can't wait to make it. Do you use a regular loaf of white bread, like the Wonder brand? Gracias!
Bruce
Do you have a rum sauce for this? I remeber having an amazingly lite rum sause that really made it jump. It may just be something my grandmother did.
Erica
Bruce- I don't have a rum sauce for this recipe!
Conny Nichols
Bruce, my mother used to make it with brandy or with bourbon ans it was awesome. She would just soak day old bread in the liqour before asding the gg mixture. Try it.
Hazel
This looks like it has some kind of topping? Does it make its own topping or is this a separate topping you made?
Jenny
Hi Erica!
absolutely my fav! i remember eating it once with raisins...would I add them to the milk mixture? Thanks so much for this website! I was born in Colombia and I truly miss that good ol' food! 🙂
Erica
Jenny, yes!
Conny Nichols
Yes, that's a delicious one. I also make one I learned at home growing up, that I have loved all my life. The base is pretty much this one, except it is made in layers adding cheese and guava paste and a bechamel sauce. Basically, you start with bread and egg mixture, followed by molten guava paste, shredded cheese and topped with a bechamel sauce and you continue that way until you have at least three layers. Top it all with cheese and bake until golden brown. My mother used to soak the bead in brandy or bourbon and it was absolutely an amazing dessert. Thank you for reawakeing such good meories Erika!
Erica
Conny- That sounds amazing ....I have to try it next time!
Conny Nichols
My mothernusd to call it "Carlotta", la cual es una creativa varia ión de una torta del repertorio culinario aleman. Te cuento que de verdad es algo del otro mundo, verdaderamente espectacular y te puedes lucir con ella.
Daniela
hola Erica, estoy absolutamente fascinada con tus recetas y lo que mas me encanta es que si uno las sigue al pie de la letra, no fallas, y que ricas son. Gracias y felicitaciones, Daniels

This looks amazing! I'm British so for a sauce I'd use crema inglesa (we just call it custard), but I'm thinking along the lines of a dulce de leche mixed with something boozy would be appropriate. But what kind of booze? Surely aguardiente would be too much?
Erica Dinho
Hi Jonny, I like to add rum to dulce de leche sauce.For the caramel recipe I cooked 1/4 cup of dulce de leche and 1/2 of evaporated milk.
James
Mi esposa lo hizo este fin de semana y quedo muy rico.
Kate

Izabel

Monica
What do you do with the sugar?
Maria Bustos
you add the sugar to the mixing bowl which has the milk, eggs, etc.
Marian
I’m sure to live this. Just picked wild saskatoons berries Alberta so I’ll add them to the pudding & see how that turns out?!?
Keep , ‘keeping on’… to tomorrow !!
