Guagua bread pudding with Tim Tam Tum

What is left of the Day of the Dead, better than on the day

Guaguas, the sweet figure-shaped bread shared in Ecuador on 2 November, soaked in milk, egg, cinnamon and Tim Tam Tum, with steeped raisins, baked until golden.

Ingredients

Makes8 servings8 servings
  • 60 gRaisins
  • 40 mlTim Tam Tum
  • 20 gButter, for the dish
  • 400 gGuagua bread, a day old, or any sweet milk bread
  • 500 mlMilk
  • 3Eggs
  • 100 gCaster sugar
  • 60 mlTim Tam Tum
  • 1 tspGround cinnamon
  • 1 tspVanilla extract

Method

  1. Steep the raisins in the Tim Tam Tum for 15 minutes.
  2. Heat the oven to 180 °C, butter a 20 × 30 cm dish, cut the guaguas into 3 cm cubes and spread them in the dish.
  3. Whisk the milk with the eggs, sugar, Tim Tam Tum, cinnamon and vanilla; pour it over the bread, scatter the raisins with their liqueur and leave for 10 minutes, pressing a little so the bread soaks it up.
  4. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until golden on top and set in the middle.
  5. Leave to settle for 10 minutes and serve warm, in squares.

Why it works
Guagua is a sweet, buttery bread that soaks up the custard without falling apart; the liqueur and the steeped raisins bring the taste of the holidays.
Tip
If the guaguas have icing or coloured decorations, leave them on: they caramelise in the oven. The pudding’s alcohol does not fully bake off.
To serve
The clay dish in the middle of the table, golden, with squares already served and a glass of Noche Morada beside it.
Meet the liqueur

This recipe contains alcohol. Cooking does not remove it completely, so a dish made with liqueur should never be presented as alcohol-free.
