Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 cups thin baguette slices (from an 18-inch length)
3 whole large eggs
3 large egg yolks
1 cup sugar plus more for sprinkling
2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
5 cups heavy cream, divided
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
Accompaniment: fresh berries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F with rack in middle.
  • Put bread in a 3-quart flameproof shallow baking dish (not glass). Whisk in zest, lemon juice, and 4 cups cream (chill remaining cup cream) and pour over bread. Press down with a spatula to help bread soak up some of custard.
  • Whisk together whole eggs, yolks, and sugar in a large bowl until pale and thick, about 1 minute.
  • Lightly sprinkle with sugar and bake in a water bath until custard is barely set and edges of bread are golden, 40 to 45 minutes.
  • Turn on broiler and broil bread pudding 4 to 5 inches from heat until golden-brown in spots, 2 to 3 minutes. Cool to warm, about 30 minutes (pudding will continue to set).
  • Just before serving, beat remaining cup cream with syrup using an electric mixer or a whisk until it just holds soft peaks. Serve pudding, warm or chilled, with cream.

This was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The bread pudding itself was very good, and the maple whipped cream was delicious.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe at first, but I'm so glad I tried it! The bread pudding was moist and flavorful, and the maple whipped cream was the perfect topping. I'd definitely recommend this recipe to others.

This is a really great recipe! I've made it several times now and it always turns out perfectly. The lemon and maple flavors are a perfect match.

I made this for a brunch party and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved the light and fluffy texture and the zesty lemon flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.

This lemon bread pudding was a delightful treat! The combination of tangy lemon and sweet maple whipped cream was perfect. I especially appreciated the easy-to-follow instructions and the fact that I could use ingredients I already had on hand.
