Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup whole milk
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup amaretto liqueur
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 (1-pound) loaf panettone bread, crusts trimmed, bread cut into 1-inch cubes
8 large eggs
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
2 1/2 cups whole milk
1 1/4 cups sugar

Steps:

  • To make the sauce: Bring the cream, milk, and sugar to a boil in a heavy small saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently. In a small bowl, mix the amaretto and cornstarch to blend and then whisk into the cream mixture. Simmer over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes. Set aside and keep warm. (The amaretto sauce can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm before serving.)
  • To make the bread pudding: Lightly butter a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish. Arrange the bread cubes in the prepared dish. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, cream, milk, and sugar to blend. Pour the custard over the bread cubes, and press the bread cubes gently to submerge. Let stand for 30 minutes, occasionally pressing the bread cubes into the custard mixture. (Recipe can be prepared up to this point 2 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Bake until the pudding puffs and is set in the center, about 45 minutes. Cool slightly. Spoon the bread pudding into bowls, drizzle with the warm amaretto sauce, and serve.

Categories     Puddings

Time 55m

  • 3. In separate bowl, mix eggs, sugar, almond and vanilla extracts and Amaretto.
  • 4. Combine all ingredients, then stir in raisins. Fold in cinnamon - most of the cinnamon will stay on the surface (it doesn't have to be evenly mixed.)
  • 5. Pour into buttered baking dish and sprinkle the top with almonds pieces and a little cinnamon. Bake at 350º F for 40-55 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.

  • 9. Remove saucepan from the heat and add sugar. Whisk until sugar is dissolved and allow sauce to cool down before serving with bread pudding.
  • 10. NOTE: I don't use raisins in this recipe but if you love raisins in your bread pudding then add them. It's good both ways.

  • Use a variety of breads: You can use a variety of breads for bread pudding, such as white bread, challah, brioche, or French bread. Different breads will give your pudding a different flavor and texture.
  • Dry the bread cubes: Before adding the bread cubes to the custard, spread them out on a baking sheet and bake them in a low oven until they are dry and slightly toasted. This will help to prevent the pudding from becoming soggy.
  • Use a flavorful custard: The custard is the key to a delicious bread pudding. Make sure to use a custard that is rich and flavorful. You can add spices, herbs, or extracts to the custard to give it more flavor.
  • Bake the pudding until it is set: The pudding is done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Be careful not to overbake the pudding, or it will become dry and tough.
