Description

Silky smooth bread pudding made with mangos and a healthy dash of cardamom. Passed to my mother from her girlhood friend.

Ingredients

6 slices white bread, torn into small pieces
2 mangos - peeled, seeded and diced
1/4 cup white sugar
3 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom
2 tablespoons butter

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x11 inch baking dish.
2 Toss together the pieces of bread and mango, and place in the prepared baking dish. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, milk, vanilla and cardamom. Pour over the bread. Dot with small pieces of butter.
3 Bake for 45 to 50 minutes in the preheated oven, or until slightly puffed and golden brown.
