POUDING CHOMEUR



Pouding Chomeur image

Though it translates to 'unemployed man's pudding,' pouding chomeur isn't cheap to make. The good news is you don't really need to eat this more than a few times a year anyway. It's the perfect dessert to pair with summer fruit or vanilla ice cream. If you use a bigger baking dish than I did, and pour over all the maple cream syrup, your cake should float over a pool of what will eventually be your sauce. If you just use a deep pie dish like I did, then just serve the extra sauce on the side.

Time 1h

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups maple syrup
2 cups heavy cream
¾ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
¾ cup white sugar
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon fine salt
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Butter a deep baking dish and place it on a sheet pan.
  • Bring maple syrup and heavy cream to a boil in a deep saucepan over medium-high heat. Turn off heat once mixture starts to bubble, stir, and set aside.
  • Beat butter and sugar together in a bowl using a spatula or electric mixer until creamy and well combined. Whisk in vanilla extract and 1 egg until incorporated. Mix in the other egg. Sprinkle in baking powder, salt, and flour. Mix with a spatula until batter is just combined.
  • Transfer batter to the prepared dish and pour the maple-cream sauce on top, stopping between 1/2 to 1-inch from the top of the dish. Reserve any extra sauce.
  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven until pudding is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, about 30 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes; serve pudding with any extra maple-cream sauce.

POMPADOUR PUDDING RECIPE

Number Of Ingredients 12

For the vanilla custard:
4 cups milk (divided)
3/4 cup sugar plus more for sprinkling on the custard
Pinch of salt
5 egg yolks
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the chocolate topping:
3 squares or 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate
3/4 cup sugar (divided)
6 tablespoons milk
5 egg whites

Steps:

  • In a small bowl whisk until combined the cornstarch and about 1/4 cup of the milk. Add egg yolks and whisk again until combined. Set aside. In a 1-1/2 quart saucepan, combine the remaining milk, sugar and salt. Over medium heat bring the milk to a simmer and remove from heat. Temper the egg-milk mixture by slowly adding to it about 1/2 cup of the hot milk. Add the tempered egg mixture to the hot milk and combine. Over medium heat and stirring occasionally, bring the mixture to a second boil. Reduce the heat and simmer gently for three minutes, stirring constantly. Off heat add the vanilla. Let the custard cool for a few minutes and then pour it into a 4-cup measuring cup or a small pitcher to make decanting it into the ramekins easier. Divide custard into six or eight ramekins, depending on their size, filling each to about 2/3 capacity. Sprinkle tops of each with a scant 1/2 tsp sugar and cover with plastic wrap, pressing the plastic against the custard so a skin won't form. Refrigerate until cool and custard is set, at least an hour. To make the chocolate topping: In a 2-quart bowl set over, not in, simmering water, heat the chocolate, 1/4 cup of the sugar and milk until the chocolate has melted and the sugar fully dissolved. Remove from heat and whisk until thoroughly combined and the mixture forms a thick chocolate sauce. Set aside to cool for about 5 minutes. In a mixer bowl with whip attachment, whip the egg whites until frothy. Gradually add the remaining sugar, whipping until glossy, medium-stiff peaks form. Gently fold the meringue into the tepid chocolate mixture. To cook: Divide the topping evenly among the ramekins, spreading it over the custard. Place ramekins in a shallow roasting pan. Add hot tap water to come about half-way up the sides of the ramekins. Bake in 375 degree F. oven for 30-45 minutes or until the topping puffs up and begins to crack slightly. Cool for about an hour before refrigerating. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.

Tips for Making Pompadour Pudding

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have a double boiler, you can make the custard base by whisking the eggs and sugar together in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water.
  • Be careful not to overcook the custard base, or it will curdle.
  • Let the pudding cool completely before serving, or it will be too runny.
  • Serve the pudding with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, fruit, or nuts.

Conclusion

Pompadour pudding is a classic French dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy custard base and light, airy meringue topping, it is the perfect sweet treat for any occasion.
