APRICOT BREAD PUDDING



Apricot Bread Pudding image

Apricots and almonds always make a good pairing. Even apricots that are less than sweet will develop an intense flavor when they bake. Separating the eggs and beating the whites to a soft meringue, then folding the meringue into the bread mixture lightens the bread pudding. It will puff when it bakes.

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 (1 percent or 2 percent)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
Softened butter for the baking dish
3 eggs, separated
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons mild honey, like clover
1/4 cup sugar
1 pound apricots, pitted and halved if small, quartered if large
2 tablespoons sliced almonds, lightly toasted

Steps:

  • Cut the bread into 3/4-inch squares. Combine the milk, vanilla and almond extract 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 apricots 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 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.

1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1/3 cup dried apricots, thinly sliced (about 2 ounces)

2 cups milk (do not use low-fat or nonfat)
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
6 large eggs

Whipped cream (optional)

  • Bake until pudding is set and golden brown, about 50 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool slightly.
  • Sift powdered sugar over bread pudding. Serve warm, topped with whipped cream, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of dried fruits for a more complex flavor profile. Some good options include raisins, cranberries, and cherries.
  • For a richer flavor, use whole milk instead of skim milk or low-fat milk.
  • If you don't have a double boiler, you can make one by placing a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water.
  • Be sure to grease the baking dish well before adding the bread pudding batter. This will help prevent the pudding from sticking to the dish.
  • Bake the bread pudding until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour.
  • Serve the bread pudding warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
