Custard pudding with mango jam
November 19, 2009 • Hello. I am currently out of the country and unable to respond to comments and e-mails. Rest assured, however, that future posts have been scheduled so new recipes will go live almost everyday during my absence. I'll be back soon with lots of stories and photos. Ciao for now! ~ ConnieIf you’re wondering what I did with the bread crusts after I made my smoked tanigue (Spanish mackarel) and cream cheese sandwiches, let me assure you that I didn’t throw them away. I didn’t feed them to the dogs or the cats either. I baked custard pudding.
And if you think that custard pudding is too plain and too ordinary, let me assure that plain and ordinary aren’t exactly in my cooking vocabulary. I stirred in half a cup of mango jam to the pudding mixture and the result is a richer pudding with a slight tartness that totally gets rid of the too-sweet sensation that most puddings impart.
Serves 4, using 4 ramekins with a 1-cup capacity
Ingredients:
2 c. of cubed day-old bread or bread crusts (I recommend half-inch cubes)
3/4 c. of milk (whole or skim, depending on your health requirements), the pour and drink kind
1/2 c. of sweetened condensed milk
1/4 c. of mango jam
2 large eggs
butter, for greasing
In a bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, condensed milk and jam. Add the bread. Mix well. Soak for at least 30 minutes.
Butter the bottom and sides of the ramekins.
Divide the bread mixture among the ramekins. Bake in a preheated 375oF oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until puffed and the tops are lightly browned.
Serve warm or chilled. They’re good either way.
Below, the illustrated step-by-step version with some additional (hopefully, helpful) details.

I am not satisfied, Ms. Connie!
I need to eat that too. I am not contented just looking at your mouth-watering pudding, pity on me. My oven is still down and I think it is not going to work anymore. I really need to buy one so I can try all your baking recipes. Which will you recommend a turbo broiler or counter top electric oven? (space constraint) Please help me…
I have to thank you, I received a trip abroad from hubby for the different “gastronomical experience” for cooking your posted recipes. I love you for that,hehehe. More power.
A turbo broiler. More energy efficient, faster baking and more versatile.
Hi,thanks Ms.Connie for featuring pudding recipes..I’m really really really gonna try this one^___^ My sisters and parents were always in shock every time I cooked new meals for the family,because I’m just new in this field and it really makes me happy to look at them happy and satisfied w/ the foods I prepare for them. I’ll bookmarked you forever!hehehe..
If not using a ramekin, what size pan will I need for this recipe?
Something with a capacity of 4 cups or thereabouts. Too large and the pudding will be too squat. Too small and the pudding might not get cooked through at the center.
thanks for this connie, i will try this tonight. can i use mamon instead of bread?
Mamon is too soft and contains too much moisture and sugar. It’ll get eaten up by the liquid, I think.
This is another good recipe. Tried this today and baked two pans- a regular size for dinner and a small ramekin for my instant taste test. Wow! This will really satisfy Raymund’s love for dessert and anything sweet.
P.S
I added i/2 cup of orange liquor becasue I wasn’t sure about the mango jam i bought- It gave the pudding an adult edge hehehe.
Inggit ako dun sa alcohol ah hehehehe
Well, Raymund decided to play with his dessert tonight. He cut a piece of the pudding, poured some brandy on it then lit it up with a match. What a spectacle! The he said he cannot taste the mango flavor very well so he added some mango ice cream on top. Talking about sweet over sweet. I’m glad he is not diabetic-YET.
Wow picture perfect! And sugar high! The young really gave great imagination.
Thanks for the nice complimnet but i am pretty sure Raymund and I are both older than you hahaha. By the way, we had unexpected company Thursday night and i served them the rest of the pudding(without the brandy and the flames) They really loved it- best bread pudding according to them. YEHEY!
