HEAVENLY LEMON BREAD PUDDING



Heavenly Lemon Bread Pudding image

This bread pudding is similar to a souffle. It will, in fact, "fall" somewhat as it cools, but you won't be disappointed with its creamy tartness. This recipe is from Texas Cooking.

Provided by Miss Annie

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 6-7 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups of day old French bread or 3 cups Italian bread, in 1/2 inch cubes
4 teaspoons grated lemons, zest of
1 cup whipping cream
1 cup whole milk
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs, separated
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Butter the bottom only of a 2-quart casserole or soufflé dish.
  • Combine bread cubes and lemon zest in large bowl.
  • Set aside.
  • Combine whipping cream, milk, sugar, butter and salt in a heavy saucepan.
  • Over medium heat, cook until butter melts, stirring occasionally.
  • Pour over bread mixture, and toss.
  • Allow to cool.
  • Lightly beat the egg yolks, then beat in the lemon juice, and stir into the bread mixture.
  • Set aside.
  • Beat egg whites in large bowl of electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  • Do not overbeat.
  • Gently fold egg whites into bread mixture.
  • Pour bread mixture into prepared dish, and bake for 1 hour, or until a knife inserted 1 inch from center comes out clean.
  • The top of the pudding should be golden brown.
  • Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
  • Dust with confectioner's sugar, if desired.
  • Serve warm, at room temperature or chilled.
  • NOTE:*If your bread is less than a day old, you can"age" it by placing slices in a 300°F oven for 15 or 20 minutes, or until some of the moisture is baked out.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemons will give your bread pudding a brighter, more citrusy flavor. If you only have bottled lemon juice, use twice the amount called for in the recipe.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the bread pudding tough. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches. A smaller pan will make the bread pudding too thick and it will take longer to cook.
  • Bake the bread pudding in a water bath. This will help to prevent the bread pudding from drying out.
  • Let the bread pudding cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the bread pudding to set.

Conclusion:

Lemon bread pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its bright citrus flavor and creamy texture, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give lemon bread pudding a try. You won't be disappointed!
