Bread pudding is a traditional dessert with roots dating back to colonial times, when making the most of available ingredients was essential in home cooking. Originally, this recipe emerged as a delicious and economical way to reuse stale bread, preventing waste. In different Latin American countries, bread pudding goes by various names and versions: in Mexico, it is commonly known as "budín de pan," in Argentina and Uruguay, "budín de pan casero" is popular, while in Venezuela it is called "pudín de pan con frutas." Although there are many variations, the basic concept remains the same, reflecting the creativity and culinary tradition of the entire region.
