This Keto Pineapple Bread Pudding allows you to enjoy the tropical flavor of pineapple and the rich decadence of bread pudding without all of the carbs and sugar! Great for a summer time dinner party or a potluck at any time of year.
For the Keto Bread Cubes (See Recipe Notes for Alternative):
Preheat the oven to 250°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Cut 12 ounces Keto Bread into cubes. For me, this is usually 12 slices of keto bread. Place the cubes on the rimmed baking sheet, toast in the oven for 20 minutes, toss, and then toast them for 20 more minutes. Set them aside.
12 ounces Keto Bread
Cooking the Chayote Squash:
Peel and dice 1 cups Chayote Squash.
1 cups Chayote Squash
Melt 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter in a small to medium sauté pan over medium high heat.
1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
Add in the diced Chayote Squash and sprinkle it with 1/4 cup Allulose.

Sauté the pieces until they are just softened. Remove from the heat and set them aside while we combine the rest.
Making the Pineapple Bread Pudding:
Using a stand mixer or large bowl and hand mixer, beat 6 Eggs (jumbo), 2 cups Heavy Cream, 1 cup Granulated Erythritol, 1 cup Swerve Brown (or another brown sugar substitute of your choice), 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (melted), 2 teaspoons Pineapple Extract, and 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract. Mix until smooth.

Fold in the diced and cooked Chayote Squash and the dried Keto Bread Cubes. (Remember, it was 12 ounces before drying; it’ll weigh in around 8 ounces after drying.)

Liberally grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray and pour in the mixture. Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
Take the casserole dish out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before you want to bake it and preheat the oven to 325°F. While everything is warming up, use a large spoon and give the mixture a good stir.
Bake for 1 hour, starting with it uncovered. Check it after 40 minutes and add an aluminum foil covering if it is browned. When it is done, a toothpick inserted in the center will come out clean.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in the fridge.
If you either can’t find or do not want to use store bought keto bread for your Keto Bread Cubes, I suggest making a double recipe of the Keto Bread in this Pumpkin French Toast Sticks Recipe from All Day I Dream About Food.
Once it’s baked, allow it to cool, cube it, and then dry it in the oven on a rimmed baking sheet like you would for the store bought keto bread. For this bread pudding, I would double the Keto Bread amount from this recipe.
