BLUEBERRY BREAD PUDDING WITH CUSTARD SAUCE



Blueberry Bread Pudding With Custard Sauce image

Blueberries are so yummy, especially in this dessert! Cook time includes time for makeing sauce. The sweet dessert known as Bread pudding (not be confused with bread and butter pudding) is rather more popular in the UK than in the US, but it is hardly unknown in America, especially in the south. Bread Pudding has been around a long time. It's been around in England since the 13th century. It has its origins as a source of food for the poorer elements of society, and was in fact called "Poor Man's Pudding".

Time 1h50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 ounces sweet Hawaiian bread, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 10 cups)

BLUEBERRY PECAN CRUNCH BREAD PUDDING



Blueberry Pecan Crunch Bread Pudding image

Wow, now this is bread pudding. It's warm, moist, creamy, and sweet with a burst of tart from the blueberries. The sweet buttery pecan crumble crunch on top just melts in your mouth. There are a few steps to this and it does take a bit of time (most of it while it chills in the fridge), but it's worth the effort. It's divine!

Provided by JM Avallone

Categories     Puddings

Time 4h

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1-2 Tbsp lemon zest, grated
3/4 c sugar
4 eggs
2 c half and half
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp vanilla extract (real)
1 c pecans, in pieces
2 c fresh blueberries or your favorite berry
1 loaf of bread, I used challah loaf from gf
TOPPING
1 stick butter, softened
1-2 c brown sugar
1 c pecans, in pieces
I had 1 cup of sweet brioche I tossed in the topping

Steps:

  • 1. You can do all these steps the day of just let the custard soaked bread rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes prior to baking. The directions I am giving are for making this overnight. Use any bread you like, any fruit you like. Don't like nuts, leave them out.
  • 2. Tear what ever bread you have on hand into one-inch pieces into a bowl. Cover with a paper towel and leave out overnight. Note: My loaf happened to be 18 oz which I think was too much. I added an extra cup of milk to the egg milk mixture it did not look like it was enough for the 18 oz of bread.
  • 3. For the topping, cream the one cup of brown sugar with the one stick of butter. You can add another half cup of sugar if you like it sweeter.
  • 4. Add pecans cover and chill overnight.
  • 5. You see in this photo a cup or so of bread that I added to the topping mixture? I had a handful of old very sweet brioche bread I bought at Wegmans I did not want to toss out so I thought considering I have reduced the sugar by half in most recipes this might be a good idea. Not necessary of course.
  • 6. If using the bread, mix into pecan/butter mixture and chill overnight.
  • 7. The next day, beat cream cheese, zest, and sugar until creamy.
  • 8. Add milk and beat carefully.
  • 9. Add salt and vanilla. Beat.
  • 10. Add one egg at a time beating in between each. Set aside. You will want the bubbles that have formed to diminish as much as possible before adding to the bread.
  • 11. Butter a 9x13 glass pan lightly. Then sprinkle turbinado, aka demerara sugar, over the butter lightly. Or, use any sugar you have handy.
  • 12. Put a handful of bread covering bottom. Sprinkle some pecans and blueberries.
  • 13. I was able to do this three times at the end press bread down.
  • 14. Pour the egg milk mixture over the entire surface.
  • 15. Cover and let sit overnight.
  • 16. The next day, take the bread pudding and topping out of fridge let the chill come off. Break apart the topping and add to the bread pudding.
  • 17. Cook at 350 degrees for 45 - 60 minutes depending on your oven. You do not want to overcook it, so after 35 minutes test it with a knife you want it to come out clean.
  • 18. I have seen some people top this dish with a sauce of 2 cups of confectioners sugar, 1 tsp of vanilla and 4-6 tsp of water or milk just enough to make a smooth sauce that you can drizzle. Or you can use a dollop of ice cream or whipped topping.

BLUEBERRY "LOVE" BREAD PUDDING



BLUEBERRY

Categories     Berry     Dessert     Bake

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Bread Pudding:
8 eggs
4 cups heavy cream
3 teaspoons vanilla
16 cups stale 1/2-inch sourdough bread cubes (leave out overnight to harden)
2 cups granulated sugar
24-ounce basket fresh blueberries, divided
Blueberry Sauce:
15-ounce can Oregon blueberries in syrup
1 cup granulated sugar
Whipped Cream:
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup confectioners sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • 1. In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, 4 cups cream, and 3 teaspoons vanilla, mixing well. Fold in stale cubed sourdough making sure bread is coated completely. Cover and place in refrigerator for 2-3 hours. 2. Preheat oven to 425-degF. Fold 2 cups sugar and 2 cups fresh blueberries into prepared bread mixture. Save a cup or so of blueberries for garnish. 3. Pour contents into a deep dish pan that is at least 9 x 13 inches; cover with foil, then bake for 35-40 minutes. Remove foil; continue baking 5 to 10 minutes more until top is golden brown. Let cool. 4. For the sauce, combine canned blueberries and 1 cup sugar in medium saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil, then cook 5 to 10 minutes on medium heat. Cool slightly, then puree with hand mixer or food processor. 5. Combine 1 cup heavy cream with confectioner's sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Whisk to soft peaks. Fold 2 to 3 tablespoons of blueberry sauce into whipped cream, if desired. 6. To serve, place the bread pudding on individual plates. Warm each plate in the microwave for 45 seconds, then drizzle with syrup, top with whipped cream and garnish with fresh berries.

Tips:

  • Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor. If using frozen blueberries, thaw them completely before using.
  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the custard will not be as thick and creamy.
  • You can use any type of bread for this recipe, but a sturdy bread, such as a French baguette or sourdough, will hold up best.
  • If you don't have a double boiler, you can create one by placing a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
  • To make sure the bread pudding is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the bread pudding is done.

Conclusion:

Blueberry bread pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover bread and blueberries, and it can be made ahead of time, making it a convenient option for busy weeknights.
