Time 2h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

8 cups cubed challah or brioche (1-inch cubes; about 12 ounces)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the baking dish
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup dark rum
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 cups heavy cream
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons dark rum
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 large eggs plus 6 yolks
1 cup raw pecans, chopped
5 ripe bananas
Vanilla ice cream, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • For the bread and syrup: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Toast the bread cubes on a baking sheet until they start to dry and harden, about 20 minutes. Set aside.
  • Raise the oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with butter.
  • Meanwhile, to make the syrup, add the butter, brown sugar, heavy cream, rum, vanilla and cinnamon to a small saucepan over medium-high heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the butter is melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the mixture is thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
  • For the custard: Whisk together the heavy cream, milk, brown sugar, granulated sugar, rum, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, whole eggs and yolks in a large bowl. Add the bread, pecans and half of the syrup and stir until completely coated (reserve the other half of the syrup for later). Cover and let soak for about 30 minutes, pushing the bread down occasionally so that all the cubes are soaked.
  • Thinly slice 4 of the bananas and fold into the bread mixture. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake until the custard is set and the top is golden brown, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan.
  • Thinly slice the remaining banana and scatter on top of the bread. Drizzle with the reserved syrup. Serve warm, at room temperature or cold with ice cream, if desired.

BANANAS FOSTER PUDDING

Categories     dessert

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup store-bought vanilla pudding
1 cup whipped cream
1 tablespoon orange zest
2 tablespoons honey or corn syrup
2 tablespoons gold sanding sugar or turbinado sugar
4 thin chocolate chip cookies, crumbled
1 large banana, sliced into 1/4-inch coins
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 large banana, sliced into 1/4-inch coins
3 tablespoons dark rum or bourbon (see Cook's Note)

Steps:

  • For the pudding: Fold together pudding, cream and orange zest in a large bowl until combined.
  • Pour a very thin layer of honey or corn syrup on a small plate. Make a pile of gold sanding sugar on another small plate. Hold a coupe glass upside down and gently tap the rim in the honey (a little goes a long way). Immediately roll the edge of the glass in the sanding sugar and place upright to dry. Repeat with 3 more coupe glasses.
  • Dollop about 1/4 cup pudding mixture into the bottom of each glass. Top with a layer of crumbled cookies, then a layer of banana slices and another 1/4 cup pudding. Chill until ready to serve, up to 2 hours.
  • For the bananas Foster: When you are ready to serve, melt the butter in a medium nonstick skillet. Add brown sugar and cook until sugar dissolves. Stir in bananas until coated well. Take off the heat and carefully add rum, then light with a lighter or match and let burn until the liquor burns off. Let bananas cool slightly, then add a spoonful of bananas to each of the glasses. Serve immediately.

BANANAS FOSTER BREAD PUDDING



Bananas Foster Bread Pudding image

Here is a nod both to the original bananas Foster at Brennan's restaurant in the French Quarter of New Orleans and to the luxe version of bananas baba au rhum that the Louisiana chef Allison Vines-Rushing once cooked at Jack's Luxury Oyster Bar in the East Village. Silky and rich, deep with the flavors of bananas, rum and custard, it is not much work to make, and pays off in incredible flavor. Do not be afraid to use an even darker sugar than the brown called for in the recipe, though molasses may be a step too far. You are looking for a deep caramel hue and flavor in the sauce, to complement the rum and the fruit. (And if you're looking to try the original, make our bananas foster recipe.)

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 large eggs
2 cups whole milk
1/4 cup plus ½ cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon plus ½ cup dark rum
1 teaspoon plus ½ teaspoon kosher salt
6 cups cubed brioche, approximately ½ loaf
5 ripe bananas, peeled and cut into coins
1 tablespoon white sugar
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, ¼ cup of brown sugar, vanilla, 1 tablespoon rum and 1 teaspoon salt. Add the bread, and stir so that it absorbs the liquid. Set aside to soak.
  • Butter a 2-quart baking dish, and place it on a baking sheet. Line the bottom of the dish with banana coins, then spoon about ½ of the soaked bread over them. Top with banana coins, and spoon the remaining soaked bread over the top. Bake for 40 minutes, then sprinkle with the tablespoon of white sugar. Continue baking until the pudding is puffed and golden on top, approximately 50 to 60 minutes total.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce. Melt the butter in a small sauce set over medium heat. Add the remaining brown sugar, cream, remaining rum and salt, and whisk until combined. Simmer, whisking, until the sauce has thickened, approximately 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and keep warm.
  • Serve the pudding warm, with some of the sauce drizzled over the top, alongside vanilla ice cream.

Time 2h15m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 22

For the Bread Pudding:
1 loaf brioche (or challah or french bread, cut into 1-inch cubes)
3 large eggs (lightly beaten)
2 cups milk
2/3 cup sugar
2 large bananas (peeled, mashed with a fork)
Optional: 1/4 cup apricots (dried; chopped into 1/4-inch pieces)
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (preferably freshly grated)
1/2 cup pecans (whole)
For the Rum Sauce:
1/2 cup dark rum
Optional: 1/4 cup banana liqueur
1/4 cup butter (unsalted)
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
5 large bananas (peeled and quartered)
For the Whipped Cream:
1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • Place pecans on a cookie sheet and lightly toast in oven until you can smell them (about 4 to 6 minutes).
  • Set aside to cool, then roughly chop. Turn off oven.
  • Lightly butter a deep 9 x 12 baking dish (or equivalent) and add the bread cubes in an even layer.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, mashed bananas, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • Pour the mixture over the bread cubes. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the pecans and dried apricot pieces.
  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil. Place the dish in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour to allow the liquid to soak into the bread.
  • Preheat oven to 325 F.
  • Place bread pudding on a middle rack. Leave the aluminum foil to. Bake for 45 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake for another 20 to 30 minutes until firm and a knife inserted comes out clean.
  • Gather the ingredients.
  • While the bread pudding is baking, heat up the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • When the butter begins to melt add the brown sugar, cinnamon, and quartered bananas. Saute gently, moving the bananas around, for about one minute.
  • Remove the skillet from heat and add the rum and liqueur. Return the skillet to medium heat.
  • When the liquid begins to bubble, tilt the pan and using caution light the sauce with a long match. When the flames go away, remove the skillet from heat. (If you can't get the sauce to light, just cook for 3 to 4 minutes to allow the alcohol to burn off.)
  • The rum sauce should be served warm. If it cools down too much, reheat in a saucepan over low heat or in a microwave.
  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Whip the cream until it just begins to thicken.
  • Add the vanilla and sprinkle the sugar over the cream.
  • Continue to whip until soft peaks form. Use immediately or refrigerate.
  • Cut into squares or scoop out the bread pudding and place serving on a plate or bowl.
  • Add two pieces of cooked bananas and drizzle the rum sauce over the top.
  • Add whipped cream.
  • Enjoy!
