Ingredients
- 12 ounces sweet Hawaiian bread, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 10 cups)
- 1 1/4 cups fat-free evaporated milk
- 1 cup 2-percent milk
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- Large pinch freshly grated nutmeg
- Kosher salt
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup cooked wild rice
- 1 cup blueberries
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon toasted, sliced almonds
- 1/4 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
- 1 tablespoon orange juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spread the bread cubes out on a baking sheet and bake until toasted and golden, tossing halfway through, about 15 minutes. Let cool.
- Whisk together 1 cup of the evaporated milk with the 2-percent milk, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, nutmeg, a pinch of salt and eggs in a large bowl. Add the cooled bread cubes and wild rice. Toss to combine and set aside until the bread soaks up most of the liquid, about 30 minutes.
- Stir the blueberries into the mixture and transfer to a lightly oiled 2-quart baking dish. Top with the almonds and bake until the bread pudding is set and golden, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove and let rest for a few minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar to a small saucepan. Swirl over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves and turns amber, about 7 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup evaporated milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, orange zest, orange juice and a pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Drizzle the caramel sauce over bread pudding. Serve warm or at room temperature.
