Ube Bread & Butter Pudding
An English classic and comforting dessert with a South East Asian twist.
It’s golden crispy on the top layer and custardy and moist inside. What shall we serve it with? Custard, Cream, Ice cream or something else???😉
I have actually been dreaming about a remix of Bread and Butter Pudding and Ube for a long time now but I never found the right time to make it. I’m glad that I thought of it as a Valentine’s day dessert. It’s actually perfect! You already have most of the ingredients at home, it’s so easy to make and it’s always a crowd pleaser.
Purple Yam or Ube is a Filipino flavour with a hint of vanilla and earthy flavour profile. This virbant root crop is a popular filipino vegetable that is typically used for desserts.

Raisins – you can use chocolates, other dried fruits like apricot or dates, you can also add fresh fruits like raspberry or strawberries. You can add anything you like!
What’s the measurement of your oven tray? L25cm x W17cm x H5cm
Bread – I’m using brioche bread but you can use any bread you fancy. I just like how buttery brioche bread is. It’s like butter on butter because I spread some butter on it too! HAHA!
Moist level – this recipe is very moist, if you prefer your bread and butter pudding to be more dryer, use 200g milk instead.
Ingredients
Instructions
Spread some butter on your brioche bread and slice them. I cut them into triangles but you can cut them in any way you prefer. Place them in an oven dish, layering some bread evenly at the bottom, then some raisins (see other suggestions above), then some bread again and some raisins until all the bread is added.
In a large bowl, add eggs, milk, cream, sugar and ube extract. Mix them well until the sugar has dissolved. Pour it onto the bread slowly covering all of the bread. Leave the bread on the side for 20-30 minutes to soak the wet mixture.
Heat the oven while you wait, 160 fan oven.
Sprinkle some brown sugar on top of the bread and butter pudding before baking it in the oven. Bake for 30-40 minutes.
Take the bread and butter pudding out of the oven and leave it to cool a little. Serve warm or cold with some topping of your choice.
