CHERRY BREAD PUDDING



Cherry Bread Pudding image

Not only is bread pudding a great use of leftover bread, it's rich, satisfying, and delicious comfort food. The juice from the baked cherries makes this a very moist, tender, and sweet bread pudding. Good served with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Time 2h10m

Yield 6

2 cups vanilla almond milk
⅓ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
5 cups 1-inch cubes of day-old Brioche bread
3 large eggs
1 ¼ cups pitted and halved cherries

  • Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or spray with cooking spray.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h23m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

5 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
8 tablespoons butter, cut up
2 cups cream
1 (12-inch) loaf French bread, crusts removed and sliced into 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup raisins
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1 cup cream
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
5 tablespoons whiskey
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Whipped cream, optional

Steps:

  • In a bowl, whisk the eggs until well blended. Add the sugar and mix in then add the vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, butter, and cream. Lay the bread cubes in a 8 by 8 inch square baking dish, sprinkle the nuts and raisins around, and then pour the custard over the bread. Cover the dish and let it soak overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cover the dish with foil and poke holes in it. Bake until bread pudding souffled up, about 40 minutes then remove the foil, and bake another 10 minutes to brown lightly.
  • For the sauce, in a saucepan heat the cream, sugar, cinnamon, and butter together until almost boiling. Meanwhile, mix the cornstarch with the whiskey and stir it into the hot liquid. Bring just to a boil to thicken it.
  • To serve, pour a few spoonfuls of the whiskey sauce on a dessert plate. Scoop out the desired portion size of the pudding, placing it on the sauced plate. Dust the pudding with powdered sugar and finish it off with a dollop of whipped cream.
  • Notes about the recipe: This is a restaurant recipe so uses leftover bread. Save the crusts and dry them in a low oven, then grind them in a food processor to make bread crumbs.

CHERRY BREAD PUDDING



Cherry Bread Pudding image

This is inspired by a recipe by the French baker Jacquy Pfeiffer, whose French Pastry School in Chicago is the only school of its kind in the country. Jacquy's recipe, called a bettelmann, is a traditional Alsatian dish made with day-old brioche. This version, made with regular or whole-wheat bread, is not as rich.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dessert

Time 3h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 ounces stale white or whole-wheat bread, crusts removed (weigh after removing crusts)
1 cup low-fat milk (2 percent)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Softened butter for the baking dish
3 eggs, separated
50 grams (1/2 cup) almond flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons mild honey, like clover
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 pound cherries, pitted
2 tablespoons sliced almonds, lightly toasted
1 teaspoon kirsch (optional)

Steps:

  • Cut the bread into 3/4-inch squares. Combine the milk and vanilla and toss with the bread in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or longer.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 9-inch ceramic tart pan or 2-quart baking dish. Arrange the pitted cherries in the dish.
  • Remove the soaked bread from the refrigerator and beat with a whisk or an immersion blender until it becomes a mush. Beat in the egg yolks, almond flour, cinnamon, kirsch if using, and honey.
  • In a clean, dry bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment, begin beating the egg whites on low speed. Gradually add the sugar, turn up the speed to high and whip until the egg whites form a soft meringue, about 1 minute. Be careful not to overbeat, as you do not want the mixture to dry out. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the bread mixture. Scrape into the baking dish. Sprinkle the sliced almonds on top.
  • Bake 40 minutes, until puffed and golden brown. Serve warm.

BREAD PUDDING WITH WHISKEY SAUCE



Bread Pudding With Whiskey Sauce image

The whiskey sauce is what makes this recipe incredible. It comes from my friend Beth, who is a great cook! She also uses nuts or pineapple for a variation.

Provided by mermaidmagic

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h20m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 loaf bread (any type white, wheat, etc. 16 oz.ish)
4 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon vanilla
3 cups packed brown sugar (hard)
5 cups half-and-half or 5 cups milk (or a combination)
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup whiskey

Steps:

  • For the pudding:.
  • In a large bowl, mix beaten egg with vanilla, brown sugar, cream/milk with wire whisk until blended.
  • Add raisins.
  • Break up bread into 13x9x2 pan and pour the liquid (above) in slowly.
  • When all the liquid is in, use either your clean hands or a spoon to squish the bread so that it falls apart and becomes mixed evenly with the liquid.
  • It needs to be very wet and somewhat “giggly”.
  • Bake in 375 degree oven for about 45 minutes to one hour- test at 45 minutes with a knife to see if the pudding is set up.
  • The pudding should bounce back a little and the knife should come out almost clean from the center.
  • The pudding will look very raised and “poofy” when you remove it from the oven.
  • It will fall in a minute.
  • For the Sauce:.
  • In a small saucepan, melt one stick butter or margarine.
  • Add brown sugar and stir constantly until melted.
  • Add whiskey and stir again until heated.
  • Double the recipe if you like a lot of sauce on the bread pudding, but use only ¾ cup of the whiskey.

Tips:

  • Use day-old bread for a sturdier bread pudding. Fresh bread will absorb too much of the custard and become soggy.
  • If you don't have day-old bread, you can toast fresh bread and then let it cool before using it.
  • Use a variety of bread types for a more complex flavor. Try using a combination of white, wheat, and rye bread.
  • Don't overmix the bread pudding batter. Overmixing will make the bread pudding tough.
  • Bake the bread pudding in a water bath to prevent it from drying out. A water bath is a pan of hot water that is placed in the oven along with the bread pudding.
  • Let the bread pudding cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will allow the bread pudding to set and firm up.

Conclusion:

Cherry almond bread pudding with whiskey sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. It is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight treat. The bread pudding is moist and flavorful, and the whiskey sauce is the perfect complement. This recipe is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
