Ingredients:
For the Bread Pudding:
- 3 cups day-old bread, cubed
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Topping:
- Powdered sugar

Instructions:
- Prepare the Custard:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together milk, cream, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
- Assemble the Bread Pudding:
- Place the bread cubes in an air fryer-safe baking dish. Pour the custard mixture over the bread, ensuring all pieces are soaked. Let sit for 5 minutes to absorb the custard.
- Cook in the Air Fryer:
- Preheat the air fryer to 320°F (160°C).
- Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the bread pudding.
- Cook for 15–20 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.
- Serve:
- Allow the bread pudding to cool slightly. Drizzle with vanilla sauce or caramel sauce, dust with powdered sugar, and sprinkle with cinnamon before serving.
Notes:
- Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer or microwave.
- Variations: Add raisins, nuts, or chocolate chips for extra flavor and texture.
- Tip: Use a mix of bread types, such as brioche or challah, for a richer flavor.
