Categories     Dessert

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 large eggs
2 cups whole milk
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 Tbsp dark rum
1 tsp kosher salt
7 cups brioche bread (cubed)
6 bananas (just ripe, peeled and cut into coins)
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 Tbsp white sugar
5 Tbsp unsalted butter
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup dark rum
1/2 tsp kosher salt (reduce if using salted butter)
1/4 cup whipping cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, 1/4 cup brown sugar, vanilla, 1 Tbsp rum and 1 tsp kosher salt. Add the cubed bread and stir to coat. Set aside to soak.
  • Peel and cut the bananas into coins. Place in a bowl and toss with juice of 1/2 lemon to coat.
  • Butter a 2-quart baking dish and place it onto a baking sheet.
  • Place about 2/3 of the sliced bananas on the bottom of the baking pan. Spoon 1/2 of the soaked bread overtop. Scatter the remaining sliced bananas over, then top with remaining soaked bread.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, then sprinkle top with 1 Tbsp white sugar. Continue baking until the pudding is puffed and golden on top, 20-30 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, make the rum caramel sauce. Melt the butter in a small saucepan, over medium heat. Add the 1/2 cup brown sugar, rum, salt and heavy cream and whisk to combine. Simmer sauce, whisking, until sauce has thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Keep warm.
  • Serve the pudding warm, with some of the warm rum caramel sauce on top. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if you like.

BANANAS FOSTER BREAD PUDDING



Bananas Foster Bread Pudding image

Two classic desserts come together in the ultimate mashup: a gooey, creamy bread pudding with bananas, rum and pecans. Typically, bananas foster gets torched at the end, but this version tastes much better with extra syrup drizzled on top.

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 PUDDING

Categories     dessert

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup store-bought vanilla pudding
1 cup whipped cream
1 tablespoon orange zest
2 tablespoons honey or corn syrup
2 tablespoons gold sanding sugar or turbinado sugar
4 thin chocolate chip cookies, crumbled
1 large banana, sliced into 1/4-inch coins
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 large banana, sliced into 1/4-inch coins
3 tablespoons dark rum or bourbon (see Cook's Note)

Steps:

  • For the pudding: Fold together pudding, cream and orange zest in a large bowl until combined.
  • Pour a very thin layer of honey or corn syrup on a small plate. Make a pile of gold sanding sugar on another small plate. Hold a coupe glass upside down and gently tap the rim in the honey (a little goes a long way). Immediately roll the edge of the glass in the sanding sugar and place upright to dry. Repeat with 3 more coupe glasses.
  • Dollop about 1/4 cup pudding mixture into the bottom of each glass. Top with a layer of crumbled cookies, then a layer of banana slices and another 1/4 cup pudding. Chill until ready to serve, up to 2 hours.
  • For the bananas Foster: When you are ready to serve, melt the butter in a medium nonstick skillet. Add brown sugar and cook until sugar dissolves. Stir in bananas until coated well. Take off the heat and carefully add rum, then light with a lighter or match and let burn until the liquor burns off. Let bananas cool slightly, then add a spoonful of bananas to each of the glasses. Serve immediately.

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.

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
