Ingredients:
For the Bread Pudding:

4 cups gluten-free bread cubes (stale or toasted)
1 cup diced ripe mango
1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
For the Rum Sauce:

1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons rum (adjust to taste)

Instructions:

For the Bread Pudding:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish or individual ramekins.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free bread cubes and diced mango.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and pinch of salt.

Pour the coconut milk mixture over the bread cubes and mango. Gently toss to ensure that the bread is evenly soaked.

Let the mixture sit for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the bread to absorb the liquid.

Transfer the bread mixture to the prepared baking dish or ramekins.

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the top is golden brown.

For the Rum Sauce:

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Add the brown sugar and heavy cream to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.

Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce thickens slightly.

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the rum. Be cautious, as the mixture may bubble.

To Serve:

Once the bread pudding is baked and slightly cooled, drizzle the warm rum sauce over the top.

Serve the Coconut Mango Bread Pudding with Rum Sauce warm, and enjoy the luxurious combination of flavors.

Optional: Garnish with additional diced mango, toasted coconut flakes, or a sprinkle of ground cinnamon for extra visual appeal.

Experience the luscious blend of flavors in this gluten-free Coconut Mango Bread Pudding with Rum Sauce, a dessert that brings together the sweetness of mango, the creaminess of coconut, and the richness of rum for an unforgettable treat.
