Directions
Step 1
Prepare Chai:
Pour milk into a saucepan over low heat. Once milk is warm but not boiling (4-5min) add the chai tea bag and let simmer 5-7 minutes then remove from heat. Remove tea bag.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 375F.
Step 3
Butter a 9 x 13 baking dish and layer in torn bread pieces. Sprinkle half of the shredded coconut and half of the slivered almonds over the bread.
Step 4
In a medium bowl, combine 1 ¼ cups heavy cream, eggs, white granulated sugar, and ¼ cup brown sugar. Whisk together until mixture thickens. Add chai mixture and mix until combined.
Step 5
Pour chai cream mixture over bread slices, making sure bread is fully coated and soaking up the mixture. Cut 2 tbsp butter into small cubes and scatter around bread pieces. Top with the remaining coconut and almond.
Step 6
Bake for 35-40 minutes, turning dish half way through for even browning. If bread pudding is browning too soon, tent with foil then continue cooking.
Step 7
Prepare Caramel Sauce:
In a small bowl combine ¼ cup heavy cream, ginger and vanilla. Let sit for 10 minutes. In a sauce pan melt 2 tbsp butter with 1/4 cup brown sugar over low heat. When the sugar mixture has liquefied, add the cream mixture. Stir occasionally for 5 to 7 minutes until mixture thickens. Remove from heat; allow sauce to thicken.
Step 8
Remove bread pudding from oven and serve immediately topped with caramel sauce.
