Now, if you want Tres Leches Bread Pudding then this is the recipe for you.
I used homemade bread. You can too if you want or use store bought French bread.
The Tres Leches I used were condensed milk, coconut milk, and regular milk. This bread pudding doesn’t need sugar because the condensed milk is already sweet. Oh and, don’t forget to grease the pan . So good and so easy you’d ask yourself why you don’t make it often after the first time?

You can eat bread pudding cold or slightly warm. It’s delicious either way.
Oh and remember I said grease your pan? Yeah, I forgot, HAH!
You think it looks dry? Not at all. The bread soaks up all that tres leches custard and it’s just pure soft and creamy bread dessert.
Feel free to add a dollop of cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. I highly recommend it!
