For the Bread Pudding:
- 4 cups of almond flour bread (you can find keto-friendly recipes online or purchase pre-made almond flour bread)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
For the Vanilla Sauce:
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tbsp erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cut the almond flour bread into cubes and spread them evenly in a greased 9×9 inch baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, heavy cream, erythritol, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and melted butter.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread cubes, making sure all the bread is soaked. You can gently press the bread down to help it absorb the liquid.
- Allow the mixture to sit for about 10-15 minutes to ensure the bread absorbs the liquid fully.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the pudding is set and the top is golden brown.
- While the bread pudding is baking, prepare the vanilla sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the heavy cream, almond milk, erythritol, and vanilla extract. Stir continuously until it thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the butter until it’s fully incorporated.
- Once the bread pudding is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- Serve the keto bread pudding warm with the vanilla sauce drizzled over the top.
