Air Fryer Butterscotch Bread Pudding is a delicious dessert for two that is simple to make and delicious! This recipe makes good use of leftover bread and pantry ingredients and turns them into a beautiful, buttery, creamy treat.
In a mixing bowl soak half of the bread cubes with 3/4 cup of heavy cream and half of the milk. Set aside remaining bread, milk and heavy cream.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat 1 egg and stir in 1/2 cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of vanilla.
Using one tablespoon of butter, grease the spring mold pan before adding the soaked bread cubes. Once soaked bread is in the pan, pour over sugar and egg mixture. Wrap bottom of pan in foil and cook on 330 for 15 minutes.
Remove pan from air fryer basket and let cool for 15 minutes before removing bread pudding.
Repeat steps 1-4 for second pudding.
In a saucepan, melt 1 stick of butter with buttered flavored syrup and 1 cup of sugar. While whisking bring sauce to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and let sit.
Once sauce has cooled and bread pudding have removed from pan, drizzle sauce over the bread puddings. I like to top it with butter pecan ice cream, but vanilla ice cream works too.
Pro Tip: This recipe can be made in the air fryer unit with a basket or the air fryer oven. If you are using the air fryer oven, use the middle rack and select the "Air Fry" function.
Pro Tip: Check your food as it cooks. Each air fryer runs a bit differently. Sometimes airfying is a trial and error process. Check your food as it cooks to learn your air fryer better! When cooking a new recipe or food items be sure to check your food often to help avoid over/under cooking.
