Old Fashioned Bread Pudding

Real vanilla bean adds excellent flavor and a sweet perfume, allowing us to use a bit less sugar substitute than you might expect. In a pinch though, you may substitute it with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

Serves: 6 people

Recipe Ingredients

8   Atkins white bread
6   Eggs (large)
1/2 cup 99g / 3.5ozGranular sugar substitute
1 cup 237mlHeavy cream
1 cup 237mlWater
1   Vanilla bean - split and scraped
1   Long cinnamon stick - (3" long)

Recipe Instructions

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Generously butter a 9- by 9-inch baking pan; set aside. Trim crusts from the bread (save crusts to make breadcrumbs) and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Place cubes in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar substitute; set aside.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, stir together the cream, water, vanilla and cinnamon stick. Cook, stirring, until the mixture just comes to a boil.

Whisk hot cream into egg mixture then pour over the bread cubes. Let stand 10 minutes, turning occasionally with a rubber spatula.

Transfer pudding mixture to prepared pan. Place pan in a larger roasting pan, fill the outer pan with enough hot water to come half way up the sides of the pudding pan. Bake for about 1 hour, until set. Let cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting. Serve warm or chilled.
