How to Cook the Cans of Condensed Milk (Stovetop Method)

  • Remove the labels from the cans of sweetened condensed milk.
  • Place the unopened cans in a deep pot or saucepan.
  • Fill the pot with water so the cans is fully submerged by at least 2 inches.
  • Bring the water to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer.
  • Simmer for 2 hours.
  • Check water level often and top up with hot water to keep the cans fully submerged at all times.
  • After the time is up, turn off the heat and let the cans cool completely in the water before opening.
  • Once cooled, open them.

Recipe Tips

To avoid a soggy bread pudding, ensure that the bread is slightly stale or toasted lightly before soaking it in the liquid mixture. This helps absorb moisture without falling apart.
When preparing your bundt pan, make sure to coat it thoroughly with liquid caramel to prevent sticking. If using homemade caramel, allow it to cool slightly before pouring to ensure it adheres well to the pan.
Avoid overmixing the egg and milk mixture; whisk just until combined to keep the pudding light and airy. Overmixing can cause it to become dense and rubbery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute the white sandwich bread with another type of bread?

Yes, you can use other types of bread such as brioche, challah, or even whole wheat bread for a healthier option. However, keep in mind that this may slightly alter the flavor and texture of the pudding.

How should I store leftovers of the bread pudding?

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap for easier portioning.

What should I do if the pudding hasn't set after 1 hour of cooking?

If the pudding hasn't set, cover it again with foil and continue steaming for an additional 15 to 20 minutes. Ensure that the water level is adequate in the pot, and check that the heat is maintained at a gentle simmer.
