Raisin Meringue Bread Pudding image

This is my all-time favorite bread pudding, at its best still slightly warm from the oven (and I'm not usually one for warm desserts). The orange-flavored meringue makes it extra-special.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups raisins (dark or light)
2 cups day-old bread cubes (plain, raisin* or egg bread)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter (melted) or 2 tablespoons margarine (melted)
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 egg yolks (beaten (reserve whites for topping)
2 cups milk
boiling water, for baking
2 egg whites
2 -3 tablespoons granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon grated orange rind

Steps:

  • Toss the raisins with bread cubes; set aside.
  • Combine brown sugar, salt, butter or margarine, vanilla, egg yolks and milk and beat until well-blended. Pour onto bread and raisins, toss to combine, and let sit for 1/2 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350. Grease an 8x8" baking dish, or spray with non-stick spray. You will also need a larger, shallow baking pan.
  • Set the larger pan on the oven rack and place the 8x8 dish inside. Fill the outside pan to 1 inch deep with hot water.
  • Bake for about 50 minutes, or until just barely firm. While baking, prepare orange meringue.
  • Remove pudding from oven and spread with meringue, making sure you bring it to the edges. Return to the oven for 10 minutes or until meringue is lightly brown.
  • ORANGE MERINGUE;
  • Beat egg whites until fluffy. Gradually add the sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Fold in grated orange peel. Spread on baked pudding.
  • * If using raisin bread, cut back a bit on the raisins. Also,the original recipe called for 3 tbs. sugar in the meringue, which I found a bit sweet. I cut it down to about 2 1/2 tbs., use your personal taste.

I'm not a huge fan of bread pudding, but this recipe changed my mind. The meringue topping was divine, and the raisins added a nice chewy texture. I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone who loves bread pudding or is looking for a new dess

This bread pudding was a delight! It had the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness from the raisins and lemon zest. The meringue topping was a nice touch that added a crispy layer to the top. I will definitely be making this again.
