Keto Cinnamon Bread Pudding with a keto crème anglaise

Updated: Oct 9, 2021

This recipe came from my recipe book from the cruise ship I worked on. It is a great way to use up ends of bread, stale bread or pastries or something you bought/made that you didn't prefer the texture of. And needless to say after working on keto bread and biscuits I had A LOT of test bread and biscuits left over. So naturally I started testing keto bread pudding, luckily it only took a few tests, lol.





This recipe is super customizable, you can use any sugar substitute, extract or spice to make it any flavor you want. I chose a caramel cinnamon bread pudding, so using golden monkfruit sweetener made sense for the flavor profile I was looking for. You can use granular monkfruit, swerve brown or granular. Allulose is less sweet and caramelizes more, but I didn't test it so it may get dark before it is completely set. The sweetness level is completely up to you and depends on what kind of bread or pastry you are using. I was using keto bread and biscuit with a tiny bit of sweetener in them. So I also added a caramel stevia but you can use any flavored or unflavored stevia or none at all if using stale keto pastries (cinnamon rolls, danish, donuts).


The only real trick to making this keto bread pudding is letting the keto bread soak in the custard for at least 10 minutes. Because our keto bread is more dense than white or brioche bread, it takes a little longer to soak up all the custard. The base ingredients of the custard are just cream, an alternative milk, butter, eggs and sweetener of choice. To the custard you can add many things like cocoa powder, chocolate chips, a keto maple syrup or a keto berry and change up the flavor of the custard with different extracts.


There are also many things you can top your keto bread pudding with. I chose a crème anglaise which is just a fancy name for a vanilla sauce. It's just cream, egg yolks, sweetener of choice and vanilla extract or a vanilla bean. It is also delicious with some keto ice cream ( https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDA690SIIES1yOrd8qLa2g1qnnaw7ga8y ) or whipped cream either way it's delicious.
