COCONUT BREAD PUDDING

Laurent Torondel, the chef of BLT Steak and BLT Fish, developed this recipe for tropical bread pudding. It's rich and luxurious, but quite easy to assemble. Thin challah slices are layered on top of one another then drenched with a boozy mix of eggs, sugar, cream and coconut milk. It's baked in a bain-marie, then slid under the broiler for a few minutes to achieve a crackly-brown top.

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 large eggs
1 1/8 cups sugar, more for topping dish
2 cups heavy cream
1 13 1/2-ounce can coconut milk
2 tablespoons dark rum
10 slices challah or brioche, 1/3.-inch thick

Steps:

  • In bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, combine eggs and 1 1/8 cups sugar. Mix until smooth. In a small pan, bring cream to a boil. With mixer running at medium-low speed, slowly add hot cream. Add coconut milk and rum, and mix again just until smooth. Allow mixture to rest at room temperature for one hour.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Fill a kettle with water and place over high heat to bring to a boil. In an 8 1/2-by-12-inch baking dish, arrange challah slices so they overlap in two columns. Pour custard evenly over top, and press down lightly with a spatula. Place dish in a large, deep pan, like a roasting pan. Carefully pour in boiling water so that it comes about halfway up the sides of baking dish. Bake until custard is set but not too firm, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Sprinkle liberally with sugar, and caramelize it with a kitchen torch or by placing it under a broiler for 2 to 3 minutes. Serve, scooping out individual portions.

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Butter, for baking dishes
1 loaf white country bread (1 pound), cut into 1-inch cubes (about 12 cups)
4 large eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 can (13.5 ounces) coconut milk
2 cups whole milk
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with rack in center. Butter eight 6-ounce ramekins or custard cups; set aside. Arrange bread in a single layer on two rimmed baking sheets; bake until crisp, tossing once, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven. Reduce oven heat to 300 degrees.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together eggs, granulated sugar, milks, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt. Stir in toasted bread; let sit, tossing occasionally, until bread has absorbed liquid, about 5 minutes.
  • Divide bread mixture evenly among ramekins. Place on a baking sheet; bake until a toothpick inserted in center of a pudding comes out clean, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool. Serve dusted with confectioners' sugar.

Tips:

  • Use stale bread for a better texture.
  • Toast the bread cubes before using them for a richer flavor.
  • Use a variety of bread types for a more complex flavor and texture.
  • Don't overbeat the eggs, or the bread pudding will be tough.
  • Use a baking dish that is large enough to accommodate the bread pudding without it overflowing.
  • Bake the bread pudding in a water bath to prevent it from drying out.
  • Serve the bread pudding warm with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, ice cream, or fruit.

Conclusion:

Coconut bread pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy texture, rich flavor, and versatile toppings, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give coconut bread pudding a try!
