CHERRY BREAD PUDDING



Cherry Bread Pudding image

Not only is bread pudding a great use of leftover bread, it's rich, satisfying, and delicious comfort food. The juice from the baked cherries makes this a very moist, tender, and sweet bread pudding. Good served with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Time 2h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups vanilla almond milk
⅓ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
5 cups 1-inch cubes of day-old Brioche bread
3 large eggs
1 ¼ cups pitted and halved cherries
1 teaspoon cinnamon sugar, or as needed

Steps:

  • Combine milk, sugar, butter, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook just until butter has melted and set aside to cool.
  • Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or spray with cooking spray.
  • Add bread cubes to the baking dish. Whisk eggs into the butter mixture until well combined and pour over the bread cubes, pressing down a bit so bread cubes are submerged. Stir cherries into the bread cube mixture and distribute evenly. Let soak for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the bread pudding.
  • Bake until the top is golden brown and the custard is set in the center, about 65 minutes. Bread pudding will puff up but drop shortly after coming out of the oven, just like a souffle. Place on a baking rack and cool for 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

CHERRY BREAD PUDDING



Cherry Bread Pudding image

This is inspired by a recipe by the French baker Jacquy Pfeiffer, whose French Pastry School in Chicago is the only school of its kind in the country. Jacquy's recipe, called a bettelmann, is a traditional Alsatian dish made with day-old brioche. This version, made with regular or whole-wheat bread, is not as rich.

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 (2 percent)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Softened butter for the baking dish
3 eggs, separated
50 grams (1/2 cup) almond flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons mild honey, like clover
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 pound cherries, pitted
2 tablespoons sliced almonds, lightly toasted
1 teaspoon kirsch (optional)

Steps:

  • Cut the bread into 3/4-inch squares. Combine the milk and vanilla 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 pitted cherries 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, kirsch if using, 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.
