BANANAS FOSTER BREAD PUDDING



Bananas Foster Bread Pudding image

Here is a nod both to the original bananas Foster at Brennan's restaurant in the French Quarter of New Orleans and to the luxe version of bananas baba au rhum that the Louisiana chef Allison Vines-Rushing once cooked at Jack's Luxury Oyster Bar in the East Village. Silky and rich, deep with the flavors of bananas, rum and custard, it is not much work to make, and pays off in incredible flavor. Do not be afraid to use an even darker sugar than the brown called for in the recipe, though molasses may be a step too far. You are looking for a deep caramel hue and flavor in the sauce, to complement the rum and the fruit. (And if you're looking to try the original, make our bananas foster recipe.)

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 large eggs
2 cups whole milk
1/4 cup plus ½ cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon plus ½ cup dark rum
1 teaspoon plus ½ teaspoon kosher salt
6 cups cubed brioche, approximately ½ loaf
5 ripe bananas, peeled and cut into coins
1 tablespoon white sugar
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, ¼ cup of brown sugar, vanilla, 1 tablespoon rum and 1 teaspoon salt. Add the bread, and stir so that it absorbs the liquid. Set aside to soak.
  • Butter a 2-quart baking dish, and place it on a baking sheet. Line the bottom of the dish with banana coins, then spoon about ½ of the soaked bread over them. Top with banana coins, and spoon the remaining soaked bread over the top. Bake for 40 minutes, then sprinkle with the tablespoon of white sugar. Continue baking until the pudding is puffed and golden on top, approximately 50 to 60 minutes total.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce. Melt the butter in a small sauce set over medium heat. Add the remaining brown sugar, cream, remaining rum and salt, and whisk until combined. Simmer, whisking, until the sauce has thickened, approximately 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and keep warm.
  • Serve the pudding warm, with some of the sauce drizzled over the top, alongside vanilla ice cream.

BANANAS FOSTER BREAD PUDDING

Bread Pudding is a famous dessert in the French Quarter of New Orleans. This version is from dickiebrennanssteakhouse.com. I haven't made this before and it sure sounds like a lot of bread to fit into that size pan - but they're famous for it and I'm not - so hopefully this works well. :D

For the Bread Pudding:
1 loaf brioche (or challah or french bread, cut into 1-inch cubes)
3 large eggs (lightly beaten)
2 cups milk
2/3 cup sugar
2 large bananas (peeled, mashed with a fork)
Optional: 1/4 cup apricots (dried; chopped into 1/4-inch pieces)
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (preferably freshly grated)
1/2 cup pecans (whole)
For the Rum Sauce:
1/2 cup dark rum
Optional: 1/4 cup banana liqueur
1/4 cup butter (unsalted)
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
5 large bananas (peeled and quartered)
For the Whipped Cream:
1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.

  • Set aside to cool, then roughly chop. Turn off oven.
  • Lightly butter a deep 9 x 12 baking dish (or equivalent) and add the bread cubes in an even layer.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, mashed bananas, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • Pour the mixture over the bread cubes. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the pecans and dried apricot pieces.
  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil. Place the dish in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour to allow the liquid to soak into the bread.
  • Preheat oven to 325 F.

  • When the liquid begins to bubble, tilt the pan and using caution light the sauce with a long match. When the flames go away, remove the skillet from heat. (If you can't get the sauce to light, just cook for 3 to 4 minutes to allow the alcohol to burn off.)
  • The rum sauce should be served warm. If it cools down too much, reheat in a saucepan over low heat or in a microwave.
  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Whip the cream until it just begins to thicken.
  • Add the vanilla and sprinkle the sugar over the cream.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality bread: The type of bread you use will affect the overall flavor and texture of the bread pudding. Choose a bread that is slightly stale, as this will help it to absorb the custard better.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the bread pudding tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Use a water bath: Baking the bread pudding in a water bath helps to create a moist and evenly cooked pudding.
  • Let the bread pudding cool slightly before serving: This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.

With its creamy custard, tender bread, and caramelized bananas, this bread pudding is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
