Tres Leches Bread Pudding
Tres Leches means 3 kinds of milk. If you want a recipe for Tres Leches Cake which is one of my favorite desserts, click here. If you want a Bread Pudding recipe, here’s Eggless Bread Pudding with Strawberry Jam, Bread Pudding with Caramelized Apple, and Bread Pudding with Coconut Milk & Glaze. 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? 🤷♀️

- 1 1/2 cup regular milk
- 1 tsp powdered cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- a pinch of salt
- Pam spray or 1 tsp of butter to grease the pan
Instructions

- Slice the bread in cubes. Set aside.

- Then the coconut milk,
- Then the regular milk.
- Add a pinch of salt, powdered cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir all of them together until well blended.
- Add the cubes of bread.
- Stir everything together to coat the bread with the milk mixture.
- Transfer into the greased pan. Cover with saran wrap and store in the fridge for 2 hours.
- Preheat the pan to 355°. Bake it for 45minutes or until the top is golden brown.
- Cool in the counter for 10-15minutes. Cover with foil then stick it in the fridge to chill completely.
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! 👍
