Ingredients

2 Large Eggs
1 cup Whole Milk
1/4 cup Heavy Cream
5 tablespoons Sugar-Free Sweetener (I used stevia)
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon Ground Cardamom
1 tablespoon Orange zest
2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted & cooled

1/3 cup Raisins
1 cup Currants

Instructions 0%

To a large bowl, add eggs and whisk to combine. Add the whole milk, heavy cream, sugar-free sweetener, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, cardamom, and orange zest, and whisk until the sugar-free sweetener dissolves.

Stir in the butter, whisk until thoroughly combined, and set it aside.

Grease an air fryer-safe, 6-inch round casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray. You can also use an oval air fryer-safe casserole dish if it can fit in your air fryer.

Place half of the bread into the casserole dish and top it with half of the raisins and currants. Add half of the egg-milk mixture over the bread.

Add the remaining bread, raisins, and currants to the casserole dish. Add the remaining egg-milk mixture over the bread pudding and press the bread into the liquid with the back of a wooden spoon.

Pre-heat the air fryer to 325 °F for 15 minutes. Add the bread pudding to the air fryer basket and bake it for 15-20 minutes until the bread pudding is golden brown. Insert a pairing knife into the center, if it comes out clean, It's ready to be served.

Let the air fryer bread pudding rest 5-10 minutes before serving.
