Yield Makes 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 cups 1 1/2-inch cubes egg bread with crust (from one 16-ounce loaf)
2 1/4 cups chopped pitted Medjool dates (about 12 ounces)
1/2 cup sliced almonds
6 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
1 cup baker's sugar (superfine sugar) or regular sugar
3 1/2 cups half and half
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon (generous) ground nutmeg
Powdered sugar
Amaretto Zabaglione

Steps:

  • Arrange bread cubes in single layer on rimmed baking sheet. Let stand at room temperature to dry overnight.
  • Butter 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Transfer bread cubes to prepared dish. Mix dates and almonds in medium bowl. Sprinkle date mixture over bread and toss to distribute evenly. Using electric mixer, beat eggs and egg yolks in large bowl until frothy. Add 1 cup sugar and beat until mixture thickens and is pale yellow, about 5 minutes. Add half and half, vanilla, and nutmeg; beat just until blended. (Bread mixture and custard can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Let bread mixture stand uncovered at room temperature. Chill custard; rewhisk before continuing.)
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Pour custard over bread mixture, then press lightly on bread with rubber spatula to submerge. Let stand 15 minutes, occasionally pressing lightly on bread to submerge.
  • Bake bread pudding 25 minutes. Using large spoon, press bread down, allowing custard in dish to rise to surface. Spoon custard evenly over bread mixture. Continue to bake pudding until knife inserted into center of custard comes out clean, about 20 minutes longer.
  • Remove bread pudding from oven and let stand 10 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve warm with warm or chilled Amaretto Zabaglione.

Tips:

  • Use fresh eggs: Fresh eggs are essential for a successful zabaglione. Older eggs will not whip up as well and the zabaglione will be less fluffy.
  • Whip the eggs and sugar until thick and pale: This will help to incorporate air into the zabaglione and make it light and fluffy.
  • Cook the zabaglione over a double boiler or in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water: This will help to prevent the zabaglione from curdling.
  • Stir the zabaglione constantly while it is cooking: This will help to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan or bowl.
  • Do not overcook the zabaglione: Overcooked zabaglione will be grainy and thick. It should be cooked just until it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Serve the zabaglione immediately: Zabaglione is best served warm. It can be served on its own or with fruit, cookies, or cake.

Conclusion:

Amaretto zabaglione is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed on its own or with a variety of accompaniments. It is a classic Italian dessert that is sure to impress your guests. With its rich, creamy texture and sweet, nutty flavor, amaretto zabaglione is the perfect ending to any meal.
