CHOCOLATE-BRANDY BREAD PUDDING WITH CINNAMON WHIPPED CREAM



Chocolate-Brandy Bread Pudding With Cinnamon Whipped Cream image

Another chocolate bread pudding to add to my collection. Made it for Thanksgiving dessert and it was a huge hit. The best thing is that cinnamon whipped cream tastes great with pumpkin and apple pie too! This one is not quite as decadent as the dark chocolate version I have posted. Note: I used a loaf of Hawaiian sweet bread but any quality white or sweet bread will do.

Time 3h20m

Yield 3 large or 10 small servings

2 teaspoons brandy
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
4 eggs, at room temperature
8 ounces (1 cup) very hot strong coffee

CHOCOLATE AND CINNAMON BREAD ON BREAD PUDDING



Chocolate and Cinnamon Bread on Bread Pudding image

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Time 2h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 large cinnamon-raisin bread boule, at least 1 day old or lightly toasted
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
3 large eggs, whisked
1/2 cup chocolate chunks
Nonstick cooking spray, for the parchment
2 tablespoons demerara sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
Pinch of kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the bread pudding: Using a serrated knife, hollow out the boule. Cube the hollowed-out bread into 2-inch pieces and put in a large bowl. Using your fingers or a spoon, scrape any remaining bread from inside the boule to create a crusty bowl. Add any scraped bread to the bowl along with the bread cubes.
  • In a medium pot, gently heat the milk, cream, butter, granulated sugar and vanilla paste until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved. Let cool completely.
  • Add the eggs to the milk mixture and whisk until combined. Pour the custard over the cubed bread, stir in the chocolate chunks and let sit for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment and spray with nonstick spray. Place the boule on the baking sheet. Pack the custard/bread mixture into the bread bowl. It will protrude a bit--that's a good thing! Mix together the demerara sugar, cinnamon and salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture on the top of the bread pudding. Bake until golden and crusty, 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  • For the whipped cream: In a cold bowl, mix together the cream, granulated sugar, cinnamon, vanilla paste and salt. Beat to medium peaks.
  • Cut the bread pudding into "slices" and top with the whipped cream.

CARAMELIZED BREAD PUDDING WITH CHOCOLATE AND CINNAMON



Caramelized Bread Pudding with Chocolate and Cinnamon image

This bread pudding recipe is courtesy of Suzanne Goin and can be found in her cookbook, "Sunday Suppers at Lucques."

Provided by Martha Stewart

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

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
4 or 5 slices brioche, or good-quality white bread, 1/4 inch thick, crusts removed
3 extra-large eggs
3 extra-large egg yolks
1/4 cup light-brown sugar
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
3/4 cup chopped bittersweet chocolate
1 tablespoon granulated sugar, for caramelizing the top

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Spread the softened butter on one side of each slice of brioche. Cut each slice in half on the diagonal and then again into quarters.
  • Whisk together eggs, egg yolks, and brown sugar in a large bowl. Add cream, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt; whisk to combine.
  • Sprinkle the chocolate over the bottom of a 9-by-9-inch baking dish. Top with brioche, buttered sides up, and overlapping just slightly. Pour egg mixture over the bread. Using your fingers, press down gently on bread to fully submerge in the egg mixture. Place the bread pudding in a roasting pan, and pour enough warm water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the baking dish. Bake until the custard is set and the bread puffs up slightly, and is springy to the touch, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let cool at least 10 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the granulated sugar over the top of the pudding. Using a kitchen torch, caramelize the sugar. Alternatively, you can place the custard in a preheated broiler until the sugar carmelizes, 1 to 2 minutes, taking care not to curdle the custard underneath.

CHOCOLATE PUDDING WITH WHIPPED CREAM

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk
2 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar

  • Pour pudding through a sieve into a heatproof bowl set in an ice-water bath. To prevent a skin from forming, press plastic wrap directly onto surface. Refrigerate, stirring occasionally, until cold and set, about 40 minutes (up to 2 days).

CARAMELIZED BREAD PUDDING WITH CHOCOLATE AND CINNAMON



Caramelized Bread Pudding with Chocolate and Cinnamon image

Provided by Suzanne Goin

Categories     Bread     Chocolate     Dessert     Side     Bake     Kosher     Cinnamon

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
4 or 5 slices brioche, or good quality white bread (I like Pepperidge Farm), 1/4 inch thick, crusts removed
3 extra-large eggs
2 extra-large egg yolks
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup chopped bittersweet chocolate
1 tablespoon granulated sugar, for caramelizing the top

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Spread the softened butter on one side of the brioche. Cut each slice in half on the diagonal and then again into quarters.
  • Whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and brown sugar in a large bowl. Add the cream, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt, whisking to combine well.
  • Sprinkle the chocolate over the bottom of a 9-by-9-inch (or equivalent) baking dish. Arrange the brioche, buttered side up, with slices overlapping just slightly, on the chocolate (there should be just a single layer of bread). Pour the custard over the bread, pressing down with your fingers to make sure the bread soaks it up. Place the bread pudding in a roasting pan, and pour warm water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the pudding dish. Bake about 1 hour and 15 minutes, until the custard is set and the bread puffs up slightly. The pudding will be springy to the touch.
  • Let the bread pudding cool at least 10 minutes.
  • If you have a kitchen blowtorch, sprinkle the sugar over the top, and torch to brown and caramelize. You could run the pudding under the broiler to caramelize if you don't have a torch, but be careful not to curdle the custard underneath.
  • Serve the bread pudding from the baking dish at the table, using a big spoon.

CHOCOLATE-PRALINE BREAD PUDDING WITH CINNAMON CREAM



Chocolate-Praline Bread Pudding with Cinnamon Cream image

Categories     Bread     Chocolate     Dessert     Bake     Kosher     Cinnamon     Simmer

Yield serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

Praline
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
3/4 cup coarsely chopped toasted pecans
Pudding
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 cups whole milk
3 large eggs plus 3 large egg yolks
1/2 cup granulated sugar
Pinch of kosher salt
6 cups crustless day-old bread, in 1-inch cubes
Cinnamon Cream
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • For the praline: Lightly oil a baking sheet or line it with a silicone baking mat. Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan and cook over moderate heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Continue cooking without stirring until the sugar syrup turns to dark caramel, 5 to 7 minutes, swirling the pan occasionally and gently so the caramel darkens evenly. Monitor the caramel closely during the final moments as it can quickly go from perfect to burnt. Work cautiously, as hot caramel can cause a nasty burn.
  • Stir in the pecans, then immediately pour the hot praline onto the prepared baking sheet in a thin, even layer. Let cool until hard, then break into small pieces.
  • For the pudding: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly butter a 9-inch square pan.
  • In a small saucepan, heat the cream to a simmer. Remove from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Put half of the chopped chocolate in a large bowl and pour the hot cream over it. Whisk until smooth.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs and egg yolks, granulated sugar, and salt until well blended. Add to the melted chocolate mixture and whisk well.
  • Add the bread cubes and allow them to soak for about 30 minutes, pushing them down into the liquid occasionally. Fold in the remaining chopped chocolate. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the praline over the surface. Place the pan in a larger roasting pan and add enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the smaller pan. Bake until the pudding is firm to the touch, about 45 minutes. Remove the smaller pan from the water bath and let the pudding cool for at least 30 minutes.
  • For the cream: In a bowl, with a whisk or electric beaters, whip together the cream, confectioners' sugar, and cinnamon to soft peaks.
  • To serve, cut the pudding into 12 pieces. Serve warm, accompanied by a dollop of cinnamon cream.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality chocolate and brandy for the best flavor. A dark chocolate with a cocoa content of 70% or higher is ideal.
  • Soak the bread cubes in the brandy mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help the bread absorb the flavor of the brandy and make it more moist.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bread pudding tough.
  • Bake the bread pudding in a water bath. This will help prevent the pudding from drying out.
  • Serve the bread pudding warm with cinnamon whipped cream or your favorite ice cream.
