Ingredients
Instructions
- Soak the bread in milk and blend until smooth, adding extra milk if needed.

- Pour the mixture into a mold.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour and 20 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brioche or challah bread instead of sandwich bread. You can also substitute the raisins with dried cranberries or chopped nuts for a different texture. Make sure to blend the mixture until completely smooth for the best results. If you want to lighten it up, try using egg whites instead of whole eggs.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Pudin-Buding warm or at room temperature, drizzled with a little cream or a scoop of ice cream for added indulgence. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea, making it a perfect dessert for brunch. For a delightful twist, try serving it alongside Irish Coffee Pie for a comforting dessert spread.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make Pudin-Buding ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the Pudin-Buding a day in advance. After baking, allow it to cool completely, then store it covered in the refrigerator. This allows the flavors to meld together, making it even more delicious when served.
Can I freeze Pudin-Buding?
Absolutely! You can freeze Pudin-Buding for up to 2 months. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating to enjoy it again.
What can I use instead of sugar?
If you're looking for a healthier alternative, you can substitute sugar with honey or maple syrup. Keep in mind that you may need to adjust the liquid ingredients slightly, as these substitutes are liquid sweeteners.
