Crock Pot Tres Leches Bread Pudding only needs 4 hours on LOW to cook in the slow cooker. This is a warm and indulgent dessert for when you don’t want to turn the oven on. It tastes even better served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Tres leches Cake is one of my favorite desserts. Since it is such a moist dessert, it lends itself perfectly to bread pudding form. Tres leches Bread Pudding is actually easier to make than Tres Leches Cake. Just cut up some French bread and pour a mixture of sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, whole milk, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract over it in the crock pot.
It cooks up a little crispy around the edges. Such an easy dessert to throw together for a crowd.
Recipe Tips
- Use French bread that is a few days old.
- You will need 7 egg yolks for this recipe. You can save the egg whites to make an omelet or frittata.
- If your crockpot runs really hot, it may get a touch overdone around the edges.
Storage
Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 days.
