I had no idea what I was doing the first time I made bread pudding so I just grabbed the leftover rolls from last night’s dinner and they were kind of stale and kind of sad so I thought, why not? The air fryer was sitting there and it was looking all smug so I figured I’d give it a shot.

And guess what It turned out way better than I expected because it was crispy on the edges while it stayed gooey in the middle so it felt like a warm hug in dessert form.

My husband thought I’d ordered it from somewhere but I did not correct him.Isn’t it wild how something as humble as leftover bread can turn into a dessert that feels all fancy : And honestly there’s no judgment if you eat it straight from the basket with a spoon because I’ve been there too.

Oh and if you’ve never tried bread pudding in an air fryer then get ready because it’s quicker and it’s crispier and it comes with way less drama than the oven.
Also there are fewer dishes so can I get an amen.

Kitchen Equipment Needed :

• Cutting board and knife

Tips for

Use stale or day old bread for the best texture it prevents the pudding from becoming too mushy.

If you don’t have stale bread, cut fresh bread into cubes and toast them lightly before using.

Don’t overcrowd the air fryer make sure your dish fits comfortably inside for even cooking.

For a richer flavor, replace half of the milk with heavy cream.

Add a sprinkle of sugar on top before air frying for a caramelized, slightly crunchy crust.

For best Serving, I recommend putting it in a cup.

Ingredients :

• 4 cups cubed bread “day old works best”
• 2 cups milk
• 3 large eggs
• ½ cup sugar “white or brown”
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon nutmeg “optional”
• ½ cup raisins or chocolate chips “optional”
• Butter or nonstick spray “for greasing”

How to Make Air Fryer Bread Pudding :

Step 1

Prepare the bread : cut your bread into bite sized cubes. Day old bread is best because it absorbs the custard better and make the custard mixture: in a large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and spices until smooth.

Step 2

Combine: add the bread cubes to the bowl and gently stir until the bread soaks up most of the custard. If you’re adding raisins or chocolate chips, mix them in now then grease the dish: spray a small baking dish or ramekins with nonstick spray or butter. Pour the soaked bread mixture inside.

Step 3

Air fry: place the dish in the air fryer basket. Cook at 350°F “175°C” for 20-25 minutes until the pudding is set and the top is golden brown and cool slightly: let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Add caramel sauce, whipped cream, or ice cream on top if you like.
