Time 2h10m

Yield 9 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (12-ounce) brioche loaf
3 extra-large whole eggs
8 extra-large egg yolks
4 cups half-and-half
1 cup whole milk
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Seeds scraped from 1 vanilla bean
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
2 pints vanilla ice cream, such as Häagen-Dazs, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Space two racks evenly in the oven.
  • Cut five 3/4-inch-thick slices of brioche and place them in one layer on a sheet pan. Trim some of the crusts from the remaining brioche and cut in 1-inch dice. Spread out on a second sheet pan. Put both pans in the oven for 5 minutes to lightly toast the bread.
  • Meanwhile, for the custard, whisk together the whole eggs, yolks, half-and-half, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla and vanilla seeds in a large bowl and set aside. Line a 3-quart baking dish with the whole slices of brioche, cutting them to fit in one layer. Distribute the diced brioche on top. Pour on the custard and press lightly so all the bread is soaked with custard. Set aside for 10 minutes.
  • Place the dish in a roasting pan large enough to allow the baking dish to sit flat. Pour about 1 inch of the hottest tap water into the roasting pan, being sure not to get any water into the custard. Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil, tenting the foil so it doesn't touch the pudding. Cut a few holes in the foil to allow steam to escape. Bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the custard is set and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve warm with the melted ice cream.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking dish
4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
6 cups bread cubes (1-inch cubes), such as sourdough
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
1 cup orange juice, fresh or store-bought
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 navel orange, zested

Steps:

  • For the pudding: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, granulated sugar, vanilla and salt in a large bowl. Pour in the bread and chocolate chips. Toss until the bread is coated on all sides and the chocolate is distributed. Pour into the prepared baking dish. Bake until puffed and golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes.
  • For the sauce: Meanwhile, place a small saucepot over medium-high heat. Set aside 1 tablespoon of the orange juice. Pour the remaining orange juice and sugars into the saucepot and whisk until combined. Bring to a simmer and simmer, whisking occasionally, until the sugars dissolve, about 10 minutes.
  • Whisk together the reserved orange juice and cornstarch in a small bowl. Pour into the sauce and whisk until combined. Cook until the sauce becomes syrupy, about 5 minutes. Stir in the orange zest. The sauce will thicken more as it cools. Pour the warm sauce over the pudding and serve.

CHOCOLATE ORANGE BRIOCHE BREAD PUDDING

"Toasting the brioche in the oven is a key step to the recipe. It helps to dry out the bread, which makes it even better at soaking up the custard for a moist, cake-like texture," shares Tom Filippou, executive chef for President's Choice Cooking School. "To make this more indulgent, serve it with vanilla bean ice cream or freshly whipped cream and garnish with a sprinkling of dark chocolate shavings."
