Ingredients for Guava Bread Pudding:

• 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) butter
• 1 loaf brioche bread, cut into cubes
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground allspice
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon ground nutmeg
• 2 cups milk
• 5 large eggs
• 1/4 cup golden raisins
• 1/2 cup guava paste

For the Marshmallow-Vanilla Cream Sauce:

• 1 cup marshmallows
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a loaf pan with butter.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine brioche cubes, brown sugar, white sugar, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, milk, eggs, golden raisins, and guava paste. Stir well until evenly mixed. Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan.
3. Bake until the top is golden brown, approximately 45 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
4. While baking, prepare the marshmallow-vanilla cream sauce: gently melt marshmallows in a nonstick skillet over low heat. Add heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla extract. Continue cooking on low, stirring, until the sauce is smooth and combined.
5. To serve, turn the bread pudding out onto a plate and drizzle with the prepared sauce.
