We’ve taken classic bread pudding and given it a mini makeover. Dates bring natural sweetness to the party and, thanks to the pudding mix, there’s a ton of luscious, caramel goodness in there, too. Your Muffin Makers are a great tool for perfectly portioning desserts; not to mention, they’re made with microwave-safe silicone, saving you a whopping 10 minutes of cooking time in the microwave.

Ingredients

  • 1⁄2 cup dried dates, pitted
  • 1 cup milk, your choice
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1⁄2 pkg Dulce de Leche Instant Pudding Mix
  • 4 cups cubed, day-old bread or croutons

Preparation

  1. Tear dates in half and place in a bowl. Cover with water. Microwave 30 sec; set aside to hydrate.
  2. Place milk and butter in Multipurpose Steamer. Cover and microwave on high 3 min, or until butter is melted and mixture is hot.
  3. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk eggs and pudding mix until well combined.
  4. Stir bread cubes into hot butter mixture.
  5. Drain water from dates. Fold dates and egg mixture into soaked bread.
  6. Lightly brush Muffin Makers with oil. Divide mixture between wells so they are about 3⁄4 full. In two batches, microwave on high for 2.5 min. Or, bake in preheated 350° F oven for 15 min. Let cool in pan 5 min before unmolding.
  7. Top with caramel sauce and ice cream, if desired.
