Ingredients
Bread Pudding
  • 1 loaf King’s Hawaiian rolls torn into chunks
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Butter for greasing the baking dish
Caramel-Banana Sauce
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 banana sliced (optional but recommended)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare the Bread Base
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and spread the torn Hawaiian rolls evenly in the dish.
  3. Make the Custard
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together milk, heavy cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. Pour evenly over the bread, gently pressing down so all pieces absorb the mixture.
  5. Bake
  6. Bake for 45–50 minutes, until the top is golden and the center is set but still soft.
  7. Make the Caramel Sauce
  8. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and brown sugar together until bubbly.
  9. Add Cream and Vanilla
  10. Slowly whisk in heavy cream and vanilla. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened.
  11. Add Banana (Optional)
  12. Stir in sliced banana just before serving for the classic flavor.
  13. Spoon warm bread pudding into bowls and generously drizzle with warm caramel-banana sauce. Serve immediately.
