Description

This decadent Florida Keys Bread Pudding transforms day-old sponge cake into a moist, custard-like dessert infused with tropical flavors. The combination of crushed pineapple, sweetened flaked coconut, and egg whites creates a light yet rich texture that is both comforting and refreshing. Topped with a warm, spiced rum sauce, this dish captures the essence of Caribbean indulgence. It is perfect for a summer dinner party, a special Sunday brunch, or any occasion where you want to serve something memorable. The sweetness of the fruit balances the alcohol notes of the rum, making it a crowd-pleasing finale to any meal.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. Cut the day-old sponge cake into 1-inch cubes and arrange them in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, whipping cream, egg whites, and sugar until well combined.
  4. Drain the crushed pineapple well and fold it into the cake cubes in the baking dish.
  5. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the cake and pineapple, ensuring all pieces are soaked.
  6. Sprinkle the sweetened flaked coconut evenly over the top.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.
  8. While the pudding bakes, heat the dark rum in a small saucepan over medium heat until warm but not boiling.
  9. Remove pudding from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm with the rum sauce drizzled over each portion.

Note

Use day-old sponge cake for best absorption; fresh cake may become too soggy.

Ensure pineapple is well-drained to prevent excess liquid in the custard.

For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the dark rum with pineapple juice or vanilla extract.

Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.

Adding a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon to the custard enhances the tropical flavor profile.
