Today I have a real treat for you. I made this white chocolate strawberry bread pudding for my 45th birthday on Wednesday. The best part is that it’s made with all paleo ingredients.
Remember, I don’t create many dessert recipes. These are only to be enjoyed once in awhile, as a treat. This recipe has a lot of sugar in it. Even though it’s coconut sugar and honey, it’s still sugar. That being said, enjoy.
Ingredients
- 9 ounces paleo, homemade white chocolate
- 1 loaf paleo bread, store bought or homemade, sliced
- 4 eggs
- 6 egg yolks
- 4 cups full fat coconut milk, canned
- 1 cup light coconut milk, canned
- 3 cups coconut sugar
- 10 ripe strawberries, ripe, sliced
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 8 ounces melted paleo white chocolate
- 3 ounces full fat coconut milk, canned
Instructions
- Make strawberry filling first by combining sugar and sliced strawberries in bowl. Press sugar into strawberries. Place in fridge for at least 20 minutes.
- In large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and egg yolks. Set aside.
- In large saucepan, combine all coconut milk and sugar.
- Bring mixture to a low simmer and add white chocolate. Whisk until chocolate is melted.
- Remove pan from heat and quickly stir in whisked eggs. Continue stirring to keep eggs from scrambling.
- In a 9”X13” baking dish, place bread slices in one layer. Top with strawberry filling. Cover with another layer of bread slices.
- Pour half of coconut milk mixture over bread slices. Gently press bread slices to ensure mixture is absorbed by bread.
- When most of mixture has been absorbed, pour remaining mixture over bread. Gently press.
- Cover dish with parchment paper, then foil.
- Let soak for 5 hours in fridge.
- After 5 hours, remove baking dish from fridge and set aside while oven preheats.
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
- Bake covered for 1 hour on middle rack.
- Remove foil. Bake for another 45 minutes or until top is golden brown.
- Create sauce to pour on top of each serving by combining melted white chocolate and full fat coconut milk in a double boiler.
- Serve individual portions with sauce ladled on top. You can also garnish with a strawberry and whipped cream made with a can of full fat coconut milk, 5 or 6 drops liquid stevia, and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
- Preparation time: Forever! It actually takes about 8 hours, start to finish.
- Can be refrigerated and reheated.
