Double Boiler Bread Pudding image

We really like bread pudding but this one is different as it cooks on top of the stove instead of in the oven, which is great when you want a comfort food dessert but don't want to heat up the kitchen with the oven on. Recipe source: Bon Appetit (March 1985)

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons butter, room temperature
3/4 cup brown sugar
4 slices bread, crusts trimmed, buttered and cubed (stale bread or heels work fine)
1/2 cup raisins
2 eggs
2 cups half-and-half
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon salt
whipped cream, garnish

Steps:

  • Coat a 2-quart double boiler (or saucepan) with the butter (2 tablespoons). Pat the brown sugar over the butter.
  • Arrange 1/3 of the bread cubes in a single layer on top of the sugar. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the raisins. Repeat with the layering with the remaining bread and raisins.
  • In a small bowl beat together the eggs and half and half, vanilla and salt. Pour mixture over the bread/raisins.
  • Cover pan and set over boiling water. Cook for 1 1/2 hours or until set, you will probably need to add boiling water at least once.
  • Remove from heat and remove top pan from the boiling water. Let cool for 10 minutes or so and then invert onto a serving platter. Serve with whipped cream if desired.

I found that the bread pudding was a bit dry. I would recommend adding more milk or cream to the recipe.

This bread pudding is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe.

I'm not a big fan of bread pudding, but I decided to give this recipe a try and I'm glad I did! It was surprisingly delicious. The bread was moist and flavorful, and the custard was creamy and rich. I'll definitely be making this again.

I've tried many bread pudding recipes, but this one is by far the best. The double boiler method ensures that the pudding is cooked evenly and has a creamy, smooth texture. I highly recommend giving it a try!
