Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
2. Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups whole milk, 1 cup heavy cream, 3 large eggs, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, and 1 tsp ground cinnamon until well combined.

5. Step 5: While baking, whip 1/2 cup chilled cream with 2 tbsp powdered sugar and 2 tbsp maple syrup until soft peaks form to create maple whipped cream.
6. Step 6: Let the bread pudding cool slightly after baking, then serve warm topped with generous dollops of maple whipped cream.
