APRICOT BREAD PUDDING



Apricot Bread Pudding image

Apricots and almonds always make a good pairing. Even apricots that are less than sweet will develop an intense flavor when they bake. Separating the eggs and beating the whites to a soft meringue, then folding the meringue into the bread mixture lightens the bread pudding. It will puff when it bakes.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dessert

Time 3h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 ounces stale white or whole-wheat bread, crusts removed (weigh after removing crusts)
1 cup low-fat milk (1 percent or 2 percent)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
Softened butter for the baking dish
3 eggs, separated
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons mild honey, like clover
1/4 cup sugar
1 pound apricots, pitted and halved if small, quartered if large
2 tablespoons sliced almonds, lightly toasted

Steps:

  • Cut the bread into 3/4-inch squares. Combine the milk, vanilla and almond extract and toss with the bread in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or longer.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 9-inch ceramic tart pan or 2-quart baking dish. Arrange the apricots in the dish. Remove the soaked bread from the refrigerator and beat with a whisk or an immersion blender until it becomes a mush. Beat in the egg yolks, almond flour, cinnamon and honey.
  • In a clean, dry bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment, begin beating the egg whites on low speed. Gradually add the sugar, turn up the speed to high and whip until the egg whites form a soft meringue, about 1 minute. Be careful not to overbeat, as you do not want the mixture to dry out.
  • Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the bread mixture. Scrape into the baking dish. Sprinkle the sliced almonds on top.
  • Bake 40 minutes, until puffed and golden brown. Serve warm.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 loaf firm crusty French bread (1 lb., 4 to 4 1/2 inches wide)

2 cups half-and-half
1/2 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Trim crusts off bread and cut loaf cross-wise into 3/4 inch thick slices.
  • Arrange 8 to 10 slices diagonally in a buttered 8-inch square pan – you may have to overlap them on each other and push and tug a bit to get them to fit without overlapping the edges of the pan, while performing this step, tuck the chocolate and apricots in amongst the bread slices, and scatter some over the top as well.
  • Whisk the eggs, half-and-half, sugar, liqueur OR orange juice, and vanilla together until well blended, then gently pour over the bread and soak for about 30 to 40 minutes until its all soaked up – you may need to coax it a bit by spooning some of the liquid over the top.
  • Bake in 350 oven for about 30 minutes, or until custard is cooked in the center.

4 cups buttermilk
1 cup cornflake crumbs (4 cups whole)
3/4 cup light brown sugar
5 tablespoons melted butter
sour cream

Steps:

  • Butter 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Cook noodles in large pot of boiling salted water until almost tender. Drain noodles; return to same pot. Add 1/2 cup butter and toss until butter melts. Beat eggs and sugar in medium bowl to blend; mix into noodles. Mix in apple, apricots and raisins. Transfer noodle mixture to prepared dish. Pour buttermilk evenly over. Cover with plastic and chill overnight. Preheat oven to 350F. Uncover pudding. Bake 45 minutes. Mix cornflake crumbs, brown sugar and 5 tablespoons melted butter in medium bowl. Remove pudding from oven. Spoon cornflake topping evenly over pudding. Return pudding to oven and bake until topping is golden brown and crisp, about 30 minutes longer. Let stand 10 minutes. Cut pudding into squares; serve with sour cream.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, juicy apricots. This will ensure that your pudding has the best flavor.
  • If you don't have fresh apricots, you can use dried apricots. Just be sure to soak them in hot water for 10 minutes before using.
  • Use a good quality vanilla extract. This will also help to enhance the flavor of your pudding.
  • Don't overcook the pudding. It should be thick and creamy, but not rubbery.
  • Serve the pudding warm or cold. It's delicious either way!
