CARAMEL BREAD PUDDING FOR TWO



Caramel Bread Pudding for Two image

Just two small croissants make enough decadent bread pudding for two people, with no leftovers!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 1h5m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more butter for greasing the cups
2 croissants (about 2 ounces each), torn into 1-inch pieces
1 large egg
2 tablespoons plus 1/2 teaspoon sugar
3/4 cup half-and-half
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 soft caramel candies, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter 2 ovenproof 6-ounce tea or coffee cups. Tear a loosely packed 1/2 cup of the croissant pieces into slightly smaller pieces, and toss them with the melted butter in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Whisk the egg with 2 tablespoons of the sugar in a medium bowl until the sugar is dissolved. Whisk in the half-and-half and vanilla. Stir in the remaining 1-inch croissant pieces and the caramels, and let the mixture sit, folding occasionally, for about 15 minutes. Don't worry if the mixture seems too wet; the excess moisture will be absorbed as the pudding bakes.
  • Divide the soaked bread mixture between the prepared cups. Top each with half the buttered croissant pieces, and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of the remaining sugar. Bake until the bread pudding puffs above the rim of the cups and is set, about 30 minutes. Let cool a few minutes (the pudding will sink), and serve warm.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 55m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups loosely-packed challah cubes (about 1 inch)
1 1/4 cups milk
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1 large egg
2/3 cup mini chocolate chips, plus more if desired
2/3 cup mini marshmallows, plus more if desired
Unsalted butter, at room temperature, for buttering the ramekins
2 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the bread cubes into a large mixing bowl.
  • In a large measuring cup, whisk together the milk, cocoa powder and egg. Pour the liquid mixture on top of the bread, then add the chocolate chips and marshmallows. Gently stir and make sure all the bread is covered with the liquid.
  • Butter two 16-ounce oven-safe ramekins. Add 1 tablespoon of graham cracker crumbs to each and tap them all around to coat the insides completely with crumbs. Evenly divide the bread pudding mixture between the ramekins and top with more chocolate chips and marshmallows, if desired. Place the ramekins on a large baking sheet to help catch anything if it overflows.
  • Bake, uncovered, 30 minutes. If the marshmallows start to turn too brown during the baking process, you can lightly cover with foil.
  • Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes before eating. Be careful-the middle is still really hot!

SIMPLE BREAD PUDDING



Simple Bread Pudding image

This recipe is proof-positive that leftover bread can easily be converted to dessert without much work. There's room for customization here: consider adding fresh or dried fruit or a combination of spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and cardamom. It makes a great brunch dish, served with fresh fruit compote. Or add a handful of chocolate chips before baking for a decidedly more decadent outcome.

Tips:

  • Use stale bread for a better texture. Fresh bread will make the pudding too soft and mushy.
  • Cut the bread into small cubes for even cooking.
  • Soak the bread cubes in the milk mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help the bread absorb the flavors and become tender.
  • Add your favorite spices, fruits, or nuts to the pudding for a customized flavor.
  • Bake the pudding in a greased baking dish at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve the pudding warm with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, ice cream, or fruit.

Conclusion:

Bread pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for using up leftover bread. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a warm and comforting treat that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you have some stale bread on hand, don't throw it away - make bread pudding instead!
