Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Place the cubed bread in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy cream, whole milk, unsalted butter, and dark brown sugar. Stir continuously until the butter is melted and the sugar is fully dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and salt.
Slowly pour the slightly cooled cream mixture into the egg mixture while whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
Pour the custard mixture over the cubed bread, ensuring all the bread is evenly coated. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
Transfer the soaked bread mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the butterscotch chips over the top of the bread mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the bread pudding is golden brown and the center is set. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent touch.
