Caramel bread pudding recipe with homemade caramel sauce and it is eggless version. Just steaming over stove top, no oven. Step by step pictures.
I remember I ate pudding for the first time in a wedding feast,when I was studying in my lower primary. Of course it was an Indianized version and mostly puddings will be pineapple puddings those days. One of my uncles used to make fun by adding pudding to each and every thing we eat. But truly speaking I had no idea about puddings. Now though blogging world, I am now very happy to try a pudding recipe on my own and that too with my favourite caramel flavour!
I love caramel flavour for no reasons from my childhood. The Nutrine caramello was my favourite toffee then, among all the toffees from nutrine my dad used to buy for us. Other than that, till date I love 5 star like anything. It tastes out-of-the-world for me, may be the chewy texture is what I like along with its flavour.ย And coming to this pudding recipe, I bookmarked this from Tasty Treats few months back. At last I made this and loved it a lot. Simple ingredients and exotic pudding recipe .

Caramel bread pudding recipe
Ingredients
- 8 Bread slices
- 1 & ยฝ cups Milk
- โ cup Sugar 11 tbsp approx
- 2 tbsp Sugar for caramel
- 1 tsp Vanilla essence
- Nuts for garnishing optional
Instructions
- Tear the bread into pieces and add milk to it. Mash it well with potato masher. Mix vanilla and sugar and keep aside.
- keep ready the vessel(flat 6 inch bowl or any other similar) and heat a pan with sugar and 2 tsp water. Tilt the pan frequently for even heating and take care not to burn the sugar. At one stage the sugar starts turning deep golden yellow.
- Pour the caramel in the vessel and tilt to coat the bottom and a bit in the sides as well. Let it set for two minutes and pour the bread mixture to it.
- Steam cook it by covering the vessel with aluminium foil with holes pricked for the steam to escape. Steam for 20-25 minutes. (I used my pressure cooker. Fill it with ¾ cup water, place the vessel with bread mixture inside covering the vessel with aluminium foilย . Close the pressure cooker with lid, no need to put the pressure regulator / weight valve/ whistle.)
- After that,cool down and keep it in refrigerator for 2 hours minimum and then invert itย to a plate. You can cut it to desired shape before serving.
Notes
- Be sure you dont over heat the sugar syrup after it turns golden in colour, otherwise it may taste bitter. Also take care not to burn it in the sides of the pan,tilt it frequently to avoid this.
- You can top with nuts if you like.
- Donโt add more milk or sugar than mentioned. The pudding by itself is gooey and sticky, so adding more of any one of the above may not set properly.
- Give at least a day for setting, before serving/eating to enjoy the fullest flavour!
- I used my pressure cooker for steaming, without the pressure regulator(valve/weight)

You can enjoy it cold as such or you can drizzle some caramel /butterscotch syrup as I did. I used Hersheyโs store bought syrup . You can also serve it with Vanilla ice cream along with it.

I used to hate eating bread pudding due to its eegy taste
hence I have been hunting for an eggless bread pudding. I am glad that I found this !!
no wonder I often come here for many eggless recipes
I plan to make it tomorow .
Have a doubt
can I bake it rather than steaming
I have seen many recipes baking the pudding raher than steaming.

wowwwwwwwww Raji loved it and would try it someday…
one question I don't find "Caramel" in the ingredient list…Did I miss anything?clarify me ๐
Such a simple but awesome recipe Raks.I love Caramel flavor myself,so got to try this.I think you should try making dulce de leche,you'll love it!
and Raji is the aluminium foil a must while steaming?
Annapoorani, we are making caramel in this recipe with sugar(step 2) and I think aluminium foil helps it steaming properly and quickly,also if we don't cover,there may some water on the top.
I'm so happy you tried it and even more so that you liked it. Beautiful pictures, I want to make it again:)
food&food only,Mitha,
I think you can try baking this as well.But I am sorry,I have no idea about the temperature. You can refer other pudding recipes for the temperature and timing.
Wonderful recipe and tips. But not able to see pictures.
Now I am able to see. Wonderful
Thanks a lot Raji
tempting clicks raji… love it… i tried making caramel custard long back but ended up in a recipe that tasted so bitter… i went wrong on the caramelizing part & never tried any caramel recipes then… now that i understood the process of caramelization i am definitely going to try this pudding… you always explain so clearly on the minute details of cooking which will have a great impact on the taste of the recipe… hats off to u…
The pudding looks sooo yummy!!! SLURP ๐
Wow looks so tempting…The 2nd pic is killing me ๐ too good that I am craving for it now ๐
The timing of this recipe in my mail is perfect. My friend asked me to make bread pudding and made excuses as I've never had it before and thought it might be too much work. But this seems simple and I guess I'll get the ingredients easily too.
The pictures are tempting me to try it soon. ๐
This looks so beautiful Raji…love those perfect slices:)

How did u steamed ?
Hi
Love your recipes, so far used to read but today tried this. turned out excellent, exceptthat the caramel stuck down to the pan. can I dribble caramel syrup again.
thanks from smita, india, email [email protected]
Hi Smita, yes you can just melt by keeping the pan in boiling water and use the melt syrup again. Donot melt again in direct flame.
hie…..
jus tried this reciepe.. and came out pretty well… this is the first pudding that i am trying… ๐ its jus perfect..:)
Hi Raks, can u give some tips on how to make the caramel… as when i tried first it was forming sugar cubes… nd second time I added more water. Pls help !! Thanks Mona
Just keep boiling sugar with little water with constant stirring,it will sure start turning golden. Even when it forms crystals, if you continue heating, I think it can melt and make caramel…
hi.. just tried your recipe..well, it turned out too sweet..i tried to fix it by serving the pudding with cinnamon syrup but still i didn't like it.. can you suggest anything to fix the pudding coz i really dont wanna through it..
kya bottom wale mein water use karna hai.aur pressure cooker ke upper cap lagana hai
Yes use water in the cooker as you do for others and no weight valve on the top…
at what time we have to remove foil.after steaming remove foil or before put in freeze.i make this pudding my pudding was so soft i think their is some water in this puuding
Excellent recipe! *****
Hi Mitha,
Did u try baking in the oven?vif so, can u pls give @ what temp you baked ?
Thanks
KS
DO V VE TO CLOSE THE COOKER OR LEAVE IT OPEN?
We have to close the cooker.
Have a couple of silly doubts Raks ๐ We should add water inside the cooker right? and wat about the rubber gasket..should we retain it? and do we have to keep it in sim or medium flame?
Yes u should add water, gasket and keep in medium flame ๐
Hi Akka,
The milk which u used,is it a raw milk or boiled milk and whether it is to be added to the bread wn it s hot or after it gets to room temp???????
I used raw milk.
Hi Akka,
Thank u:) one more doubt can v make egggless cake in cooker? bcoz i dont hv microven
Hi! I made this last week and everyone loved it! I have posted it on my blog too.Thanks for this yummy recipe:)
Hi can you please mention the quantity of milk in ml. Please also let me know if the mentioned quantity for sugar is 2 or 3 cups or 2/3 rd cups?
milk – 360 ml
its 2/3 rd cups
I just tried out the recipe and it turned out really well…..thanku so much
Thanx for lovely recipe Raks …..pls tell me whether I can use whole wheat bread for this recipe
Sure, try, but texture and milk quantity may vary.
When I tried this recipe the sugar syrup got thick before I could pour it in the vessel
Why is this so?
hi, usually we hate puddings. But then I saw the pic of this pudding. It looked wonderful so I decided to try it. It was lip smackingly wonderful, lovely. gonna make it again. thanks for the recipe. Could you pls show how to make plum cake?
One cup is how many ml as per your measurement cup
