Ingredients
1 loaf white bread, cut into cubes
3 cups coconut milk
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon coconut extract
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 large eggs, beaten
1 cinnamon stick
5 tablespoons sugar
6 tablespoons water
3 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
Grated coconut for garnish
Directions
Preheat oven to 400°F. Arrange bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast for 5 minutes until lightly golden and crispy, then set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, condensed milk, coconut extract, ground cinnamon, and beaten eggs until well combined and smooth.
Add the toasted bread cubes to the milk mixture and stir gently to coat all pieces. Let the mixture stand for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bread has absorbed most of the liquid.
Pour the soaked bread pudding mixture into a greased baking pan. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F and bake uncovered for 1 hour, until the pudding is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Do not overbake; the interior should be moist but firm.
While the pudding bakes, prepare the mango sauce. In a medium saucepan over high heat, combine water, sugar, and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes.
Add the diced mango and lime juice to the saucepan and return to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the liquid reduces by about half.
Remove the cinnamon stick from the mango sauce and set aside to cool slightly.
Once the bread pudding has finished baking and cooled slightly, top with the warm mango sauce and sprinkle with grated coconut. Serve warm or at room temperature.
