Categories     dessert

Time 2h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

8 cups cubed challah or brioche (1-inch cubes; about 12 ounces)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the baking dish
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup dark rum
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 cups heavy cream
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons dark rum
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 large eggs plus 6 yolks
1 cup raw pecans, chopped
5 ripe bananas
Vanilla ice cream, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • For the bread and syrup: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Toast the bread cubes on a baking sheet until they start to dry and harden, about 20 minutes. Set aside.
  • Raise the oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with butter.
  • Meanwhile, to make the syrup, add the butter, brown sugar, heavy cream, rum, vanilla and cinnamon to a small saucepan over medium-high heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the butter is melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the mixture is thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
  • For the custard: Whisk together the heavy cream, milk, brown sugar, granulated sugar, rum, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, whole eggs and yolks in a large bowl. Add the bread, pecans and half of the syrup and stir until completely coated (reserve the other half of the syrup for later). Cover and let soak for about 30 minutes, pushing the bread down occasionally so that all the cubes are soaked.
  • Thinly slice 4 of the bananas and fold into the bread mixture. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake until the custard is set and the top is golden brown, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan.
  • Thinly slice the remaining banana and scatter on top of the bread. Drizzle with the reserved syrup. Serve warm, at room temperature or cold with ice cream, if desired.

BANANAS FOSTER BREAD PUDDING

Bread Pudding is a famous dessert in the French Quarter of New Orleans. This version is from dickiebrennanssteakhouse.com. I haven't made this before and it sure sounds like a lot of bread to fit into that size pan - but they're famous for it and I'm not - so hopefully this works well. :D

Time 2h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Nonstick cooking spray
4 medium-ripe bananas, mashed (1 2/3 cups)
2 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
3 tablespoons plain yogurt
1 teaspoon rum extract
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup spiced rum
1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and set aside while you make the glaze.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and 1/2 cup water and stir. Cook until the sugar dissolves, and then continue cooking another 3 to 5 minutes over low heat until the mixture bubbles around the edges. Turn off the heat and carefully (to prevent flaming) stir in the rum and the orange zest.
  • Slowly pour half of the glaze over the banana bread, allowing it to seep into all the surfaces. Wait until the glaze has been absorbed, about 30 minutes, and then turn the loaf out of the pan.
  • Slice and serve with vanilla ice cream, and the remaining glaze.

BANANAS FOSTER BREAD PUDDING



Bananas Foster Bread Pudding image

Here is a nod both to the original bananas Foster at Brennan's restaurant in the French Quarter of New Orleans and to the luxe version of bananas baba au rhum that the Louisiana chef Allison Vines-Rushing once cooked at Jack's Luxury Oyster Bar in the East Village. Silky and rich, deep with the flavors of bananas, rum and custard, it is not much work to make, and pays off in incredible flavor. Do not be afraid to use an even darker sugar than the brown called for in the recipe, though molasses may be a step too far. You are looking for a deep caramel hue and flavor in the sauce, to complement the rum and the fruit. (And if you're looking to try the original, make our bananas foster recipe.)

Provided by Sam Sifton

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 large eggs
2 cups whole milk
1/4 cup plus ½ cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon plus ½ cup dark rum
1 teaspoon plus ½ teaspoon kosher salt
6 cups cubed brioche, approximately ½ loaf
5 ripe bananas, peeled and cut into coins
1 tablespoon white sugar
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, ¼ cup of brown sugar, vanilla, 1 tablespoon rum and 1 teaspoon salt. Add the bread, and stir so that it absorbs the liquid. Set aside to soak.
  • Butter a 2-quart baking dish, and place it on a baking sheet. Line the bottom of the dish with banana coins, then spoon about ½ of the soaked bread over them. Top with banana coins, and spoon the remaining soaked bread over the top. Bake for 40 minutes, then sprinkle with the tablespoon of white sugar. Continue baking until the pudding is puffed and golden on top, approximately 50 to 60 minutes total.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce. Melt the butter in a small sauce set over medium heat. Add the remaining brown sugar, cream, remaining rum and salt, and whisk until combined. Simmer, whisking, until the sauce has thickened, approximately 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and keep warm.
  • Serve the pudding warm, with some of the sauce drizzled over the top, alongside vanilla ice cream.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in a tough, dense loaf of bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest: Allowing the batter to rest for 10-15 minutes before baking will help it to develop more flavor and rise better in the oven.
  • Bake the bread at a high temperature: This will create a crispy, flavorful crust.
  • Don't overbake the bread: Overbaking will result in a dry, crumbly loaf of bread. Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool the bread completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Bananas Foster Bread is a delicious, easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet, caramelized bananas and rich, buttery flavor, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try.
