Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  2. 2 cups boiling water
  3. ¼ cup butter
  4. 8 cups cubed day-old bread
  5. 5 eggs
  6. ½ cup white sugar
  7. 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  8. ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  9. 2 cups chopped rhubarb

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
  2. Stir together the condensed milk, boiling water, and butter in a saucepan over medium heat, and heat until the butter has melted. Place the bread cubes in a large bowl, and pour the milk mixture over the bread cubes. Let the bread sit to soak up the liquid; do not stir.
  3. Beat eggs and sugar together in a bowl until frothy, and add the cinnamon and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture again, and stir in the rhubarb. Gently and lightly stir the rhubarb mixture together with the soaked bread, and scrape the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  4. Line a roasting pan with a damp kitchen towel. Place filled baking dish on towel, inside roasting pan, and place roasting pan on oven rack. Fill roasting pan with boiling water to reach halfway up the sides of the baking dish.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread pudding comes out clean, about 1 hour.

Leslie Torres
Was very good.. I wish I had added read comments first, definitely more rhubarb needed. I made nutter rum sauce for top, took it over the moon for taste

This was fabulous!
Kimberly Lewis
So good!! I’ve never made bread pudding with rhubarb or in a water bath, but I will again.
Carolyn Hale
I made this using peaches rather than rhubarb, so I cut back the sugar a little bit, and it’s delicious! This will definitely be my go to recipe to use up bread ends!
Stephanie Miller
I chose this recipe because the only milk I had on hand was a can of sweetened condensed milk. This will be my go-to bread pudding recipe. I needed to use up a loaf of Portuguese sweet bread. I didn’t have rhubarb. I used only two tablespoons of sugar because the bread is sweet. It came out perfect. Just delicious. Nice texture. It was very well recieved. Now I will be waiting for my rhubarb to sprout so I can make it as it’s supposed to be! Thank you!
David Simon
Great Recipe, agree that it did need more rhubarb so increased to 4 cups and baked in a stoneware 9×9 pan. Delicious!!
Lucas Moore
only change was I used 4 cups of rhubarb – and it turned out great! best served warm but for leftovers I gave it a quick spray of pam and fried in a non-stick pan for a few minutes on each side – YUM! oh yes, I did use splenda instead of the sugar. this totally filled a 2 quart glass casserole. I could have cooked it maybe 10 more minutes because of the extra rhubarb. thanks for the easy and great recipe!

Really delicious! A bit sweet. If I make it again, I might experiment by leaving out the sugar and just letting the condensed milk sweeten it.
Jacqueline Smith
The bread pudding part of this turned out very nicely, but I wish it had a more “rhubarb-y” flavor overall. As written, it seemed to have only a minimal flavor of rhubarb and was more sweet than tart.
Robert Cunningham
Yummy as written!
Sarah Johnson
Excellent! Used frozen rhubarb (gently drained), didn’t have roasting pan with water so covered for 30 minutes of cooking time….EXCELLENT!!!! Thanks for sharing a GREAT recipe!
Robert Ho
Excellent recipe. I didn’t use the additional sugar, it was plenty sweet enough with the sweetened condensed milk. I also only used 4 eggs (what I had).
Melanie Andrade
This rates right up there as one of the best bread puddings I’ve had. I followed the recipe exactly and I really liked the soft, but not mushy, texture that you find with some bread puddings. I topped with whipped cream, but a good vanilla cream sauce would suit this well.
Jessica Miller
I just took this out of the oven and couldn’t wait to dive in – it smelled heavenly! I just added a little whipped cream on top and it is DELISH! I used some old hot dog buns and frozen rhubarb from last year (drained VERY well). I was concerned it might be too sweet with the sweetened condensed milk and added sugar but worried for nothing – don’t change anything. I had extra bread and rhubarb so I used a 9×9 pan but it was still done in 1 hour. I will be begging friends and neighbors for any extra rhubarb to make again! UPDATE: Just made this using 1 pint fresh blueberries (on sale for 99 cents!) and it was just as good, if not better, than the original. Also used almond extract instead of vanilla. Love this recipe!
Austin Sanchez
This was frugal and fantastic. I used up all the leftover hot dog buns, bread heels and dried out whole wheat rolls that I had accumulated in the freezer and it was delicious. Followed the directions to a “t” and maybe used 2 1/2 cups of rhubarb, diced 1/2 inch. Put a dab of vanilla ice cream on it and we ate it for dessert. Definitely will make this again!
Christine Garcia
This was awesome. I didn’t change a thing and it turned out perfectly in the water bath.
Caitlin Vaughn
This was GREAT. Everyone enjoyed it and it ended up being a 9×12 dish. I used 2 cans of 250ml sweetened milk which is more then a 14 oz can . I would use a bit more rhubarb and slice them 1/2 in thick instead of 1/4 in and then there would be more flavor distinction. i also used up old buns from the freezer which worked just fine.
Marcus Ward
Comes out lovely and crunchy on top. Kids loved it, and it reheats well. I used 1.5cm pieces of rhubarb as suggested by previous reviewer to add extra tang. Great recipe, thankyou!
Brandy Sims
This Rhubarb Bread Pudding was delicious. I followed the recipe as submitted, but made a rum sauce and served the sauce warm over the warm bread pudding (topped with whipped cream). It was moist and delicious. Since I was not sure how small to chop the rhubarb pieces, I made them rather small. Next time I will make the rhubarb pieces a medium size chop for a stronger tart flavor.
