Recipe a Day for May: Mucho Mango Bread Pudding
| May 15, 2012 | Posted by Sarah under Cooking, Recipes |
I have made today’s recipe several times. I love desserts, but feel guilty for eating so much sugar. My favorite thing about this recipe is that it doesn’t take a lot of added sugar to make this a spectacular dessert. I always make it without the rum sauce, but I’m sure it’s even better with it. Enjoy!
Mucho Mango Bread Pudding
Yield 8 Servings
Ingredients
- 6 slices of your favorite bread or pound cake, torn into small pieces
- 2 Florida mangoes, peeled, seeded and diced into medium-sized pieces
- ¼ cup natural sugar

- 2 cups low-fat milk
- 1 ½ teaspoons natural vanilla extract
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cardamom
- 2 tablespoons butter
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350°. Lightly butter a 9×11-inch glass baking dish.
Toss together the pieces of bread and mango; pour into buttered baking dish. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, milk, vanilla and cardamom. Pour over the bread and mango mixture. Place small dollops of butter on top of the pudding (approximately ¼ stick of butter total.)
Bake for 45 to 50 minutes in the preheated oven, or until slightly puffed and golden brown. Serve warm with ice cream and fresh, sliced mangoes. Drizzle Rum Sauce over the top.
