Best 8 Bread Pudding Souffle Recipes

COMMANDER'S PALACE BREAD PUDDING SOUFFLE WITH WHISKEY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan; set aside. Combine 3/4 cup sugar, the cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Beat in whole eggs until smooth; whisk in cream and vanilla. Add bread cubes; stir, allowing bread to soak up custard. Scatter raisins in greased pan; top with egg mixture, which will prevent raisins from burning. Bake until pudding is golden and firm to the touch and a cake tester inserted in center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. It should be moist, not runny or dry. Cool to room temperature.
• Butter six 6-ounce ceramic ramekins; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, whisk egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually add remaining 3/4 cup sugar; continue whisking until shiny and thick. Test with a clean spoon. If whites stand up stiff, like shaving cream, when you pull out the spoon, meringue is ready. Do not overwhip, or whites will break down and souffle will not work.
• In a large bowl, break half the bread pudding into pieces using your hands or a spoon. Gently fold in a quarter of the meringue, being careful not to lose the air in the whites. Divide a portion of this mixture among the ramekins. Place remaining bread pudding in bowl, break into pieces, and carefully fold in rest of meringue. Top off souffles with this lighter mixture, piling it high, about 1 1/2 inches over top edge of ramekins. With a spoon, smooth and shape tops into a dome over ramekin rims. Bake immediately until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately. Using a spoon at the table, poke a hole in the top of each souffle, and spoon the room-temperature whiskey sauce into the souffles.

CHOCOLATE ORANGE SOUFFLé BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• You will also need a shallow ovenproof baking dish lightly buttered, about 8" x 8" square or 7" X 9".
• Start at least 6 hours before you need to bake the pudding; it can be prepared up to 2-3 days beforehand & covered and stored in the fridge.
• Remove the crusts from the slices of bread & cut each slice into 4 triangles.
• Place the white chocolate, dark chocolate, whipping cream, Cointreau, brown sugar, butter and cinnamon in a bowl & set the bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water, stirring the mixture well, until the butter and chocolate have melted and the sugar has completely dissolved.
• Remove the bowl from the heat and give it a good stir to amalgamate all the ingredients.
• Add the orange zest & mix well again.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and then pour the chocolate mixture over them and whisk again very thoroughly to blend them together.
• Spoon about half an inch of the chocolate mixture into the base of your buttered baking dish and arrange half the bread triangles over the top of the chocolate mixture in overlapping rows.
• Pour half the remaining chocolate mixture all over the bread triangles & smooth the mixture evenly over them.
• Arrange the remaining bread triangles over the top & then pour on the rest of the chocolate mixture.
• Using a spoon, press the bread gently down so that it is covered very evenly with the liquid as it cools.
• Cover the dish with Clingfilm and allow to stand at room temperature for about 2-3 hours before transferring it to the fridge for a minimum of 6 hours, preferably 48 to 72 hours before cooking.
• When you are ready to cook the pudding, pre-heat the oven to 180C/350F or Gas Mark 4. Remove the clingfilm, sprinkle a little more cinnamon on top & bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is crunchy & the pudding is well risen & still soft inside.
• Serve with freshly whipped cream or ice cream & garnish with some zest of fresh orange & some large white chocolate curls.
• N.B.Place the white chocolate in the freezer & use a potato peeler to make your chocolate curls!

BOURBON SAUCE FOR BREAD PUDDING AND BREAD PUDDING SOUFFLé

Steps:

• In a medium bowl or the bowl of your electric mixer combine eggs, yolks and sugar, whisk to combine.
• Place your mixing bowl over a pan of hot water over low heat and stir continuously until it reaches 165°F.
• I like to start the water off at well below the boiling point and slowly raise the temperature until it's just shy of boiling.
• Do not whisk this mixture too much at this stage or you will incorporate too much air and take too long to heat.
• If water starts to boil or you see steam coming off your mixture remove from the heat for a few seconds and whisk.
• Getting this mixture too hot will cause eggs to cook.
• After desired temperature is reached, use the whip attachment for your electric mixer and beat on high speed until thick and cooled to just warm to the touch.
• Beat in vanilla and optional bourbon, serve ASAP.
• The mixture will keep in the fridge for a day or so before it starts to separate.
• Variations: Use rum, flavored liqueur or various extracts in lieu of bourbon.

BREAD PUDDING SOUFFLE

Steps:

• FOR THE BREAD PUDDING-------------------.
• Preheat oven to 350 F degrees.
• Toast bread cubes in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
• Place the toasted cubes of bread in an ungreased 3x9x2 inch pan.
• In a medium bowl wisk the eggs and egg yolks until frothy.
• In a small bowl or plastic bag combine sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
• Blend well.
• In a medium sauce pan over low heat heat milk and butter till butter just melts (120 degrees F).
• You can use cream or half-and-half in lieu of milk, however we find this to be a bit too rich.
• I like to chop the raisins in the food processor with a bit of the sugar/spice mixture as there's alot of folks out there that love the taste of raisins, but don't like the texture.
• If desired add chopped raisins to the milk/butter mixture at this point.
• Add sugar/spice mix and vanilla to milk and stir until sugar dissolves.
• Slowly pour about 1 cup of the warm milk over the eggs while stirring continuously.
• If you like whole raisins, sprinkle the raisins over the bread cubes at this point.
• Pour the milk mixture over the bread crumbs.
• Allow the bread to become thoroughly soaked, turn once or twice to speed up the process.
• Maybe 10 minutes.
• Bake the soaked bread in the 350 F oven for 40-60 minutes, check every few minutes after the initial cooking period and remove from oven when disired degree of browness is reached.
• Cool slightly.
• FOR THE SOUFFLE------------------.
• Preheat your oven to 375 F degrees.
• Butter and lightly sugar a 1 1/2 quart souffle dish.
• Put the egg yolks and granulated sugar in the top of a double boiler over very low heat.
• Whisk the mixture until frothy and shiny.
• In a large mixing bowl, whip the egg-and-sugar mixture into the warm bread pudding until smooth, a food processor makes this easier, but it's not required.
• Beat egg whites with an electric mixer until frothy, add confectioner's sugar and beat until the egg whites form stiff peaks.
• Gently fold the egg whites into the bread pudding mixture.
• Fill the souffle dish only 3/4 full of souffle mixture to allow for rising.
• Wipe clean the lip of the dish and bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes.
• Serve immediately, top with bourbon sauce (see separate recipie) and/or whipped cream.
