Time 1h17m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 ¾ cups whole milk
½ cup heavy cream
½ cup sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon whole cardamom pods
1 teaspoon whole clove
2 whole cinnamon sticks
3 orange peels, large strips
1 lb store bought mini palmiers, divided
1 cup golden raisin, divided
1 cup shelled pistachios, toasted and chopped, divided
¾ cup hazelnuts, toasted and chopped
¾ cup unsweetened flaked coconut
¾ cup slivered almonds, divided
unsalted butter, for greasing
½ cup mascarpone

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, cream, sugar, salt, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon sticks, and orange peels. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let the spices steep for 10-15 minutes.
  • While the spices steep, break ¾ pound (340 G) of the palmiers in half into a large bowl.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together ¾ cup golden raisins (120 G), ¾ cup pistachios (95 G), the hazelnuts, coconut, and ½ cup (70 G) slivered almonds to evenly distribute.
  • Liberally grease a 9 x 13-inch (22 cm x 33 cm) baking dish with butter.
  • Spread about half of the broken palmiers in the bottom of the baking dish. Top with half the raisin and nut mixture. Repeat with the remaining broken palmiers and nut mixture.
  • Gently pour the infused milk through a strainer over the baking dish and let settle. Arrange the remaining ¼ pound (115 G)whole palmiers on top. Dollop the mascarpone on top, then sprinkle with the remaining ¼ cup (35 G) golden raisins, ¼ cup (35 g) pistachios, and ¼ cup (35 G) slivered almonds.
  • Bake the bread pudding for 25 minutes, then broil for 2-3 minutes, until the top is crisp, golden brown, and bubbling.
  • Let rest for 20-30 minutes before serving.
  • Enjoy!

This recipe is way too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my bread pudding turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm not a huge fan of bread pudding, but I have to admit that this recipe is pretty good. The custard is creamy and flavorful, and the bread is moist and tender.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover bread. I always have a loaf of bread going stale in my kitchen, so this is a perfect way to use it up.

I've tried many bread pudding recipes, but this one is by far my favorite. The texture is perfect - not too dense and not too light. And the flavor is amazing! I highly recommend this recipe.
