BREAD PUDDING WITH CARAMEL SAUCE



Bread Pudding With Caramel Sauce image

Bread pudding with its own caramel sauce. The only thing else needed is maybe some ice cream. So good!

Provided by starmaster25

Categories     Desserts     Specialty Dessert Recipes     Bread Pudding Recipes

Time 3h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 eggs
2 cups milk
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 ½ cups white sugar
¼ cup rum
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
1 loaf Italian bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup white sugar
½ cup water
½ teaspoon vinegar
¼ cup water
¼ cup butter

Steps:

  • Beat eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in milk, cream, 1 1/2 cup sugar, rum, vanilla extract, and salt until mixture is thoroughly combined. Gently stir bread cubes into the egg mixture to coat. Let bread soak until the egg mixture has been absorbed, about 1 hour; stir occasionally.
  • Dissolve 1 cup sugar with 1/2 cup water and vinegar in a heavy saucepan. Place over high heat and cook without stirring until the sugar mixture is dark amber in color, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool until it stops bubbling. Gradually stir 1/4 cup water into the syrup, about 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring until water is incorporated.
  • Pour warm sauce into a 9x9-inch baking pan and swirl the pan so the caramel sauce coats the bottom and sides of the pan. Let caramel sauce set, about 15 minutes. Coat inside of baking dish and caramel layer with butter. Transfer soaked bread cubes and any remaining liquid into the baking dish over caramel sauce and gently press bread cubes together. Cover pan with parchment paper.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place baking pan into a large roasting pan and pour enough boiling water into the roasting pan to reach halfway up the sides of the baking pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the middle of the pudding comes out clean, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes. Run a knife around the outside of the pan and invert pudding and caramel sauce onto a serving platter.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Puddings & Custards     Bread Pudding Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 Granny Smith apples, unpeeled and cut into matchsticks
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature
1 day-old, 8-ounce loaf brioche
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
3 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Caramel Bourbon Vanilla Sauce

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Place apples in a small bowl, and toss with lemon juice; set aside. Butter six 8-ounce ramekins or custard cups; place in a roasting pan. Cut brioche into 8 slices, then quarter each slice; set brioche aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together cream, eggs, sugar, salt, vanilla, and nutmeg. Add brioche, and toss to coat.
  • Place 1 tablespoon sauce into each ramekin. Add approximately 1/3 cup apple mixture, then 1/3 cup bread mixture. Add a second layer of sauce, apple, and bread.
  • Fill roasting pan with hot water to within 1/2 inch of ramekin tops. Cover pan with foil.
  • Carefully place the roasting pan on the center oven rack. Fill roasting pan with hot water to within 1/2 inch of ramekin tops. Cover pan with aluminum foil. Cook 20 minutes. Remove foil; cook 20 minutes more. Remove roasting pan from the oven, and transfer ramekins to a wire rack to cool 5 minutes. Using a towel, invert ramekins onto serving platter. Serve warm with remaining caramel sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh apples and raisins will give your bread pudding the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bread pudding tough.

  • Let the bread pudding cool slightly before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the bread pudding to firm up.
  • Serve the bread pudding with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include whipped cream, ice cream, and caramel sauce.
