WHISKEY-ORANGE BREAD PUDDING

A bottle of workmanlike Scotch or other whiskey can be as useful in the kitchen as it is on the bar, contributing alcohol and flavor to a range of recipes. A splash of it can sharpen a pan sauce for steak or pork, it's excellent flambé material, and it's especially compatible with dried fruit. I have soaked dried currants in whiskey to add to a simple chocolate cake. For this recipe, which takes its cue from the Blood and Sand cocktail made with orange juice and Scotch, I used the spirit to bolster a warm bread pudding laced with orange, both grated zest and candied peel, and finished with a marmalade and whiskey glaze. Supermarkets and fancy food shops, as well as online sources, sell candied orange peel. But absent that ingredient you can substitute slivered dried Turkish apricots.

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Unsalted butter for baking dish
2 cups/480 milliliters whole milk
1/2 cup/100 grams sugar
Grated zest of 1 large navel orange
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons/90 milliliters Scotch whisky
3 large eggs, beaten
5 cups baguette (about 235 grams) torn in small pieces
1 cup/about 6 ounces/160 grams chopped candied orange peel (or slivered dried Turkish apricots)
1/2 cup/165 grams orange marmalade
1 8- or 9-ounce container/280 grams mascarpone

Steps:

  • Heavily butter a 6-cup square or round baking dish. Place milk and sugar in a saucepan, heat until it is about to simmer and remove from heat. Add orange zest and salt. Set aside until just warm, about 10 minutes. Stir in 4 tablespoons of the whisky. When the milk mixture is no longer hot, beat in the eggs.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place the bread pieces in a large bowl. Pour milk mixture over them, add candied peel and let soak 15 minutes. Place marmalade in a small saucepan, add remaining whisky and heat to dissolve whisky in the marmalade.
  • Spoon half the bread mixture into a baking dish and smooth the surface. Cover with dabs of half the mascarpone. Spoon in remaining bread mixture. Place in the oven and bake 15 minutes. Brush with marmalade and whiskey glaze and continue baking until top is lightly brown and starts to become crusty, another 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and let cool at least 30 minutes before serving. Beat remaining mascarpone with a whisk or fork for several minutes to smooth and loosen it. Serve alongside.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield About 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 cups whole-grain bread cubes (from about 4 to 5 pieces of sandwich bread)
Unsalted butter, for buttering the baking dish
2 1/4 cups reduced-fat (1 percent) milk
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon finely grated orange peel
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom or cinnamon
4 large eggs, beaten
1/3 cup chopped dates
1 1/4 cups whole milk
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
5 tablespoons whiskey or bourbon
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Pinch salt

Steps:

  • For the bread pudding: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the bread cubes on a large baking sheet and bake, stirring twice, 10 minutes. Let cool (leave the oven on).
  • Butter a 2-quart square baking dish. In a large bowl, whisk together the reduced-fat milk, granulated sugar, orange peel, cardamom and eggs. Add the dry bread cubes and dates; toss to coat the bread with the egg mixture.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish and let sit for 10 minutes. Using a flat spatula, press the bread down into the egg mixture, then bake until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes.
  • For the orange whiskey sauce: Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine the milk and brown sugar. In a small bowl, combine the orange juice, cornstarch and 3 tablespoons whiskey and stir together with a fork until combined. Pour into the milk mixture in the pan, scraping the bowl to get all of the cornstarch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Turn down to medium-low and cook until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter, salt and remaining 2 tablespoons of whiskey. Serve over the warm bread pudding.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality whiskey. The better the whiskey, the better the bread pudding will be.
  • Don't over-soak the bread. The bread should be just moist, not soggy.
  • Use a variety of citrus fruits. Oranges, lemons, and grapefruit all work well in this recipe.
  • Don't overcook the bread pudding. It should be cooked through but still slightly moist in the center.
  • Serve the bread pudding warm with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Whiskey orange bread pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover bread and citrus fruits, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
