Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine boiling water, condensed milk, and butter. Stir until butter is melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Place bread cubes in a large bowl. Pour the hot milk mixture over the bread, ensuring all cubes are evenly soaked. Let sit for 15 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid. Do not stir during this time.

04

Step

In another large bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar until light and frothy. Add cinnamon and vanilla extract, whisking to combine. Gently fold in the chopped rhubarb.

05

Step

Delicately fold the soaked bread into the rhubarb mixture, being careful not to overmix. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.

06

Step

Prepare a water bath: Line a roasting pan with a damp kitchen towel. Place the filled baking dish on the towel inside the roasting pan. Carefully pour boiling water into the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the baking dish.

07

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 1 hour.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider browning the butter before adding it to the milk mixture.
If using frozen rhubarb, there is no need to thaw it before using. Simply add it to the egg mixture while still frozen.
Serve warm, preferably with a dollop of freshly whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

    The water bath is key for a creamy texture. Don't skip that step!

    My rhubarb was very tart, so I added a bit more sugar. Taste as you go!
