Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     dessert

Time 2h15m

Yield 9 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
17 ounces brioche (crust removed), cut into 1 1/2-inch dice
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 cup heavy cream
2 cups unsweetened coconut milk
1 1/4 cups pure cane sugar
1/2 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate (Valhrona Manjari 64 percent), finely chopped
4 whole large eggs
2 large egg yolks
Chocolate Ganache
1 cup desiccated coconut
3/4 cup passion fruit juice
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
2 tablespoons white rum
1/2 vanilla bean
3/4 cup whole milk
1/2 cup coconut milk
4 large egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar

Steps:

  • For the Ganache:
  • In a small bowl place the chocolate. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat bring the cream to a simmer and then pour over the chocolate. Let the chocolate mixture sit for 30 seconds and then whisk until smooth, keep warm.
  • For the Bread Pudding:
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment and add the diced brioche. Drizzle with the melted butter and toss to coat. Bake in the oven and lightly golden brown. Removing and tossing several times. This should be repeated for about 12 minutes. Once the bread has evenly browned, remove and let cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile in a medium saucepan over high heat, combine the cream, coconut milk, sugar and vanilla bean and seeds in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer and whisk until the sugar has dissolved. Add the chopped bittersweet chocolate and whisk until melted. Strain the mixture into a medium size bowl.
  • In a separate medium bowl whisk together the eggs and yolks and slowly add the warm chocolate mixture, whisking as you add.
  • Place half of the brioche cubes in a single layer in the bottom of a 9 by 13-inch baking dish. Pour 1/2 of the custard mixture over the bread and half of the ganache. Sprinkle with half of the coconut. Press down on the bread, allowing the liquid to soak in. Place the remaining bread cubes over the top, add the remaining custard and ganache and again, press down to completely submerge the bread.
  • Top with the remaining coconut, cover and let sit for at least 30 minutes before baking. While the bread is sitting continue to check and press down on the bread so that it is completely submerged with the custard mixture.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Uncover the bread pudding, and place the baking dish in a larger roasting pan. Fill the outer roasting pan with warm water until it comes halfway up the sides of the baking dish.
  • Place the roasting pan in the oven and bake until the sides are slightly puffy and the center is slightly set (but still jiggles a bit).
  • For the Passion Fruit Sauce:
  • Into a small saucepan cut the passion fruit in half and scoop out centers (including the seeds). Add the sugar, orange juice and rum and let cook over high heat until sugar has dissolved and sauce has thickened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and chill in the refrigerator.
  • For the anglaise:
  • Split vanilla bean. In a small heavy saucepan bring milks and vanilla bean half just to a boil and remove pan from heat. Scrape seeds from vanilla bean halves into milk and reserve pod for another use. In a bowl whisk together yolks and sugar. Add milk in a stream, whisking, and transfer custard to saucepan. Cook custard over moderately low heat, stirring, until thickened slightly and an instant-read thermometer registers 170 degrees F. Pour custard through a fine sieve into a metal bowl set in a large bowl of ice and cold water and cool, stirring occasionally, until cold. Sauce may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, its surface covered with plastic wrap.
  • Remove the pan to a baking rack and let sit for 15 minutes. Spoon some of the coconut anglaise into a bowl and drizzle with the passion fruit sauce. Top with a large scoop of the bread pudding and serve.

BOBBY FLAY'S CHOCOLATE-COCONUT BREAD PUDDING WITH PASSION FRUIT SAUCE



Bobby Flay's Chocolate-Coconut Bread Pudding with Passion Fruit Sauce image

Yield serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 23

6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 (12-inch) loaf brioche, crust removed, cut into 1 1/2-inch dice (about 10 cups)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 cups heavy cream
2 cups unsweetened coconut milk
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise, seeds scraped out, bean and seeds reserved
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, such as Valrhona Manjari 64%, finely chopped
4 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
Coconut Anglaise (recipe follows)
Passion Fruit Sauce (recipe follows)
1 cup whole milk
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise, seeds scraped out, bean and seeds reserved
4 large egg yolks
3 tablespoons sugar
3/4 cup passion fruit juice
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons white rum

Steps:

  • To make the ganache, put the chocolate in a small heatproof bowl. Bring the cream to a simmer in a small saucepan, and pour it over the chocolate. Let sit for 30 seconds; then whisk until smooth. Keep warm.
  • To make the bread pudding, preheat the oven to 325°F.
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, add the diced bread, drizzle with the butter, and toss to coat. Bake, tossing the cubes several times, until light golden brown, about 12 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  • Combine the cream, coconut milk, sugar, and vanilla bean and seeds in a medium saucepan, and bring to a simmer over high heat. Whisk until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat, add the chopped chocolate, and whisk until melted. Strain into a clean bowl.
  • Whisk the eggs and yolks together in a medium bowl, and slowly whisk in the warm chocolate mixture.
  • Scatter half of the bread cubes over the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Pour half of the chocolate custard on top, then half of the ganache. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of the coconut. Press down on the bread to allow the liquid to soak in. Scatter the remaining bread cubes over the top, add the remaining custard and ganache, and again press down to submerge the bread. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup coconut, cover, and let sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the custard mixture.
  • Place the baking dish in a larger roasting pan and fill the roasting pan with warm water until it comes halfway up the sides of the baking dish. Place the roasting pan in the oven and bake until the sides of the pudding are slightly puffy and the center is slightly set but still jiggles a bit, about 40 minutes. Remove the baking dish from the water bath, place it on a wire rack, and let it sit for at least 20 minutes before serving.
  • To serve, spoon some of the Coconut Anglaise into a bowl, drizzle with some of the Passion Fruit Sauce, and top with a large scoop of the bread pudding.
  • Combine the milk, coconut milk, and vanilla bean and seeds in a small saucepan, and bring to a simmer.
  • Meanwhile, prepare an ice bath in a large bowl.
  • Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together in a medium bowl until pale. Slowly whisk in the warm milk mixture until combined. Remove the vanilla bean, return the mixture to the pan over medium heat, and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon until the mixture coats the back of the spoon, about 4 minutes. Immediately strain the mixture into a bowl and then set the bowl in the ice bath to chill.
  • Once the anglaise is cool, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
  • Pour the passion fruit juice into a small saucepan. Add the sugar, orange juice, and rum, and cook over high heat until the sugar has melted and the sauce has thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and chill in the refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Use stale bread: Stale bread works better for bread pudding because it absorbs more of the custard mixture, resulting in a richer, more flavorful pudding.
  • Don't overmix the custard: Overmixing the custard can make it tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a variety of chocolate chips: Using a variety of chocolate chips, such as semisweet, dark, and white, adds flavor and texture to the bread pudding.
  • Don't overcook the bread pudding: Overcooked bread pudding can be dry and tough. Bake it just until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve the bread pudding warm or cold: Bread pudding can be served warm or cold. If you serve it warm, let it cool for a few minutes before serving so that it doesn't fall apart.

Conclusion:

Chocolate bread pudding with coconut is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor, moist texture, and coconut topping, this bread pudding is sure to be a hit with everyone.
