NEW ORLEANS-STYLE BREAD PUDDING



New Orleans-Style Bread Pudding image

From my favorite dessert cookbook: "Gooey Desserts-The Joy of Decadence" by Elaine Corn She states: My mother goes to conferences now and then with my father. When the men sequester themselves, she and some other spouses attend cooking classes. During one such confab in New Orleans, she took a class from Joe Cahn at the New Orleans School of Cooking, and brought home this incomparable recipe. My friend Kathleen, who is also my chief bread-pudding tester, warns anyone who has just partaken of this dessert to wait a while before driving. "God forbid you might have to take a Breathalyzer test! Whew!

Tips:

  • Use a good quality bread for the bread pudding. A French baguette or brioche works well.
  • Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes and let it dry out for a few hours or overnight. This will help the bread absorb the custard mixture more evenly.
  • Make sure the custard mixture is rich and flavorful. Use whole milk, heavy cream, and plenty of eggs.
  • Add a variety of spices and flavorings to the custard mixture, such as vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  • Soak the bread cubes in the custard mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will allow the bread to absorb all of the delicious flavors.
  • Bake the bread pudding in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve the bread pudding warm with a drizzle of rum sauce.

Conclusion:

New Orleans-style bread pudding is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its rich, creamy custard and flavorful bread, it's the perfect way to end a meal. Serve it warm with a drizzle of rum sauce for an extra special treat.
