CREOLE BREAD PUDDING WITH BOURBON SAUCE



Creole Bread Pudding with Bourbon Sauce image

This classic recipe is adapted from "Cooking Up a Storm: Recipes Lost and Found from the Times-Picayune of New Orleans", published by Chronicle Books in 2008. I love making it with leftover King Cake during Mardi Gras season, or any soft, slightly stale bread, I love it with raisins and pecans, but you could use dried cranberries or dried cherries, and sprinkle nuts on top of each serving or leave them out. It's easily adapted to what you love and so easy to make.

CREOLE BREAD PUDDING WITH BOURBON SAUCE



Creole Bread Pudding With Bourbon Sauce image

I found this recipe on the MyRecipes.com website. The intro states it originates from New Orleans chef Leah Chase, the queen of Creole cuisine (and from Dooky Chase's Restaurant in New Orleans, Louisiana). It is positively delicious. It's really quite good as a plain bread pudding (without the added sauce). But the Bourbon sauce is really the je ne sais quoi finish that makes this stand out far above all the others I've tried. For those who don't care for alcohol, the Bourbon Sauce is not really "boozey" (it's not detected at all, in fact) but is a creamy sauce with a slight caramel flair to it.

CREOLE BREAD PUDDING WITH WHISKEY SAUCE



Creole Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon butter
12 medium eggs, beaten
2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
4 ounces day-old French bread, sliced 1 inch thick (see Note)
Whiskey Sauce (see below)
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup bourbon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
  • Butter a large (11 x 8 1/2 x 3 inches) casserole dish and set aside. (Once in the oven, the casserole will sit inside a larger pan. A roasting pan would be good.) Mix the eggs, cream, and vanilla in a large bowl, and combine the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a separate bowl. This helps to evenly distribute the spices. Add the sugar mixture to the egg mixture, and combine thoroughly.
  • Place the raisins in the bottom of the buttered casserole, and add the bread slices in a single layer. Gently pour the custard over the bread, making certain that all the bread thoroughly soaks up the custard. Cover the casserole with foil, place in a larger dish (the roasting pan, if that's what you've decided to use) partly filled with hot water, and bake for 2 1/2 hours. Remove the foil, add increase the oven temperature to 300 degrees. Bake for 1 hour more, or until the pudding is golden brown and slightly firm. Use a spoon to make sure the custard is fully cooked; it should be moist but no longer runny. If you're unsure whether it's done, remove it from the oven and let it cool while it remains sitting in the water bath; the carryover effect will keep it cooking but it will not overcook. Serve slightly warm with whiskey sauce.
  • Bring the cream to a boil, combine the cornstarch and water, and add the mixture to the boiling cream, stirring constantly. Return to a boil, then reduce the heat and cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds, being careful not to burn the mixture. Add the sugar and bourbon, and stir. Let cool to room temperature.

CREOLE BREAD PUDDING



Creole Bread Pudding image

Recipe is from the historic Brennan's Restaurant in Houston, Texas. The Restaurant first opened in 1967 as a sister restaurant to the world famous Commander's Palace in New Orleans. Definitely not low calorie - would be a great special occasion dessert. Note: I am not fond of whiskey in my sauce; therefore, I prefer to leave it out entirely and use vanilla extract instead.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 cups brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
5 eggs, lightly beaten
4 cups milk
2 cups whipping cream
5 teaspoons vanilla extract
14 bread, slices 1 inch thick
1 cup raisins
1 1/2 cups pecan pieces
2 cups whipping cream
9 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water
2 egg yolks
1/4 cup whiskey

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. In a large bowl, blend the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Whisk in the eggs, milk, cream and vanilla. Tear the bread slices into big, bite-sized pieces and place in a lightly buttered 9 x 13 pan. Pour the custard mixture over the bread and allow to soak until soft, about 1 hour. Stir the raisins into the pudding and top with the nuts. Bake uncovered 1 1/2 hours. Prepare the whiskey sauce and keep warm until needed. Scoop the bread pudding into individual bowls and top with the reserved whiskey sauce.
  • To prepare the whiskey sauce: Heat the cream and sugar in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan over medium-high heat until mixture begins to boil. Mix the cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl until smooth; slowly whisk into simmering cream. Simmer 2-3 minutes. Put the yolks into a stainless steel bowl; whisk. Temper the yolks by slowly whisking 1 cup hot, thickened cream mixture into yolks. Return the yolk mixture to hot cream mixture, whisking in slowly. After the mixture is whisked together, cook over medium-low heat until mixture reaches 140 degrees F. Remove from heat and pour through a fine mesh strainer. Add the whiskey, adjusting to taste, and keep warm until ready to use. Sauce may be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator up to 3 days.

COMMANDER'S PALACE BREAD PUDDING SOUFFLE WITH WHISKEY SAUCE

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Puddings & Custards     Bread Pudding Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 12

Unsalted butter, for pan and ramekins
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of freshly ground nutmeg
3 medium whole eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
5 cups day-old French bread, or other light bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/3 cup raisins
9 medium egg whites, room temperature
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Whiskey Sauce, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan; set aside. Combine 3/4 cup sugar, the cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Beat in whole eggs until smooth; whisk in cream and vanilla. Add bread cubes; stir, allowing bread to soak up custard. Scatter raisins in greased pan; top with egg mixture, which will prevent raisins from burning. Bake until pudding is golden and firm to the touch and a cake tester inserted in center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. It should be moist, not runny or dry. Cool to room temperature.
  • Butter six 6-ounce ceramic ramekins; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, whisk egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually add remaining 3/4 cup sugar; continue whisking until shiny and thick. Test with a clean spoon. If whites stand up stiff, like shaving cream, when you pull out the spoon, meringue is ready. Do not overwhip, or whites will break down and souffle will not work.
  • In a large bowl, break half the bread pudding into pieces using your hands or a spoon. Gently fold in a quarter of the meringue, being careful not to lose the air in the whites. Divide a portion of this mixture among the ramekins. Place remaining bread pudding in bowl, break into pieces, and carefully fold in rest of meringue. Top off souffles with this lighter mixture, piling it high, about 1 1/2 inches over top edge of ramekins. With a spoon, smooth and shape tops into a dome over ramekin rims. Bake immediately until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately. Using a spoon at the table, poke a hole in the top of each souffle, and spoon the room-temperature whiskey sauce into the souffles.

Tips:

  • Use stale bread for a firmer bread pudding. If you only have fresh bread, you can toast it in the oven before using it.
  • Don't overcook the bread pudding. It should be set in the center but still have a slight jiggle to it.
  • Serve the bread pudding warm with a drizzle of bourbon sauce. You can also top it with whipped cream or ice cream.
  • For a richer bread pudding, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • Add some chopped nuts or dried fruit to the bread pudding for extra flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Creole bread pudding with bourbon sauce is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its rich, creamy custard and flavorful bread, this bread pudding is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to serve, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
