Use this recipe for an endless variety of luscious bread puddings, by choosing different breads, switching chocolate chip flavors, adding dried fruit or nuts, or adding cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves, ginger powder, or any of your favorite baking spices to the cream/egg mixture before pouring over cubed, toasted bread.
We particularly like this recipe with white chocolate chips and our famous Cherry Streusel bread. Other great combinations are Honey Lemon Blueberry with pecans, Brioche with Cinnamon, Cinnamon Spice with just about anything, and Portuguese Sweet Bread with bittersweet Chocolate Chips. But don't think you have to use a flavored or fruity bread - this recipe is fantastic with our French, Italian and especially our Honey White breads. Enjoy!
Ingredients-
- 1 - 1 1/2 Loaves bread, cubed or torn into quater-sized pieces
- 6 Eggs
- 2 Tablespoons vanilla
- 12oz. White or semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 Cup sugar
- 2 Cups heavy whipping cream
Whip eggs, sugar and vanilla together until pale yellow in color. Add cream and mix only to blend together - do not beat after adding cream. Grease 9"x13" baking dish. Arrange bread cubes or pieces on a baking sheet and toast under broiler until just lightly browned. Toss, and toast again until upturned pieces are just lightly browned. Place cubes evenly in baking dish, and pour egg/cream mixture evenly over all. Allow to stand at least 5 minutes so bread will soak up liquids. bake at 325 degrees for 50-60 minutes or until firm in the middle. Serve warm with Whiskey Cream Sauce, below, if you want a New Orleans treat! Can be chilled and reheated, covered.
WHISKEY CREAM SAUCE
- 1 1/2 Cups Heavy Cream
- 2 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1/3 Cup sugar
- 1/3 Cup boubon
Bring cream to boil, combine the cornstarch and water, and add the mixture to the boiling cream, stirring constantly. return to a boil, then reduce heat and cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds, being careful not to burn the mixture. Add the sugar and bourbon, stir and cool to room temperature. |
