Bread Pudding With Raspberry Recipes

BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• (If you're not using old or stale bread, you can dry it out in the oven first. Place the bread cubes on a baking sheet and bake at 250 degrees F for about 30 minutes, tossing every 10 minutes, until the bread is dry and stale.)
• Heat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl add half and half, butter, vanilla, sugar and salt. Microwave for about 1 minute, just until butter has melted.
• Add the beaten eggs and cinnamon to the milk mixture and whisk well to combine.
• Add the bread to the bowl and stir to coat. Pour half of the mixture into a greased baking dish large enough to fit the mixture (any shallow casserole dish; I used a 8x11'' pan).
• Sprinkle half of the raspberries over the top. Pour the remaining bread pudding mixture on top and sprinkle with more raspberries.
• Bake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until custard is set but still a little wobbly and edges of bread have lightly browned.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.
• Store leftover bread pudding in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.

RASPBERRY BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat Oven to 375°. Prepare a 9 x 13 glass baking dish by spraying with non-stick cook spray.
• In a large bowl mix the cream, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
• Cut bread into 1 - 1 1/2 inch cubes and add to cream mixture, coating the bread well. Let stand 30 minutes. Stir bread mixture every 5 minutes to allow cream to absorb.
• In a separate bowl mix the raspberries, sugar, and apple juice. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
• Layer a 9 x 13 inch baking pan 3/4 full with bread mix. Pour Fruit filling over the bread mixture, spreading evenly.
• Top with remaining bread. Bake 40 minutes at 375°.
• Serve warm topped with vanilla cream sauce (see directions below)
• Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add flour. Stir with a whisk. Stir 10 minutes until it has a "nutty" aroma. Do not allow to brown.
• Add salt, cream, and sugar until mix is thick. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Serve warm over the pudding.

RASPBERRY CHOCOLATE BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 2-quart baking dish.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the cream, milk, egg and yolk mixture, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt. Make sure the mixture is well combined.
• Add half of the brioche to the prepared baking dish, and sprinkle evenly with half of the raspberries and chocolate. Top with the remaining brioche, raspberries, and chocolate.
• Pour the cream mixture over the brioche mixture. Press down gently, cover it with plastic wrap, and let stand for 30 minutes. You want the bread to soak up that luscious custard.
• Bring a kettle of water to a boil. Remove the plastic wrap and set the baking dish in a large roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with enough boiling water to get about halfway up the sides of the baking dish. Carefully place the pan in the oven and bake until the custard is set (even in the very center), and the bread has puffed, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool slightly and remove the baking dish from the water. Serve warm, room temperature, or chilled.

INDIVIDUAL RASPBERRY BREAD PUDDINGS

Steps:

• For the bread pudding: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease eight 6-ounce ramekins
• with the butter and coat with the granulated sugar. Place the prepared ramekins on a baking sheet.
• Cut the brioche loaf into cubes. Set aside.
• Whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, brown sugar, cream, half-and-half and vanilla in a large bowl until well combined.
• Toss the bread cubes into the egg mixture. Place a large spoonful of bread batter into the bottom of a ramekin, top with 2 to 3 berries (slightly push them into the mixture), then top with more batter and finally more raspberries. Repeat with the remaining ramekins.
• Bake until the bread pudding has a slight bounce to it, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, for the sweet cream: Combine the heavy cream, granulated sugar and vanilla in a cold large bowl and whisk until you achieve stiff peaks. Place in the fridge to keep cool.
• Remove the bread puddings from the oven and let them cool down for a few minutes. Serve with a dollop of sweet cream.

BREAD PUDDING WITH RASPBERRY JAM

Steps:

• Cut the crusts off the loaf of bread and slice into 1/2-inch thick slices. Use a cookie cutter to cut out rounds of bread that will fit snugly into your ramekins. (You can make additional rounds by cutting 1/2-moons around the edges of a slice of bread, then assembling them into whole rounds later.) Place the bread rounds in a baking dish or a sheet pan with sides. Cut any scraps into small cubes and reserve for another dish.
• In a saucepan, heat the half-and-half, cream, salt, and vanilla bean over medium heat, stirring occasionally to make sure the mixture doesn't burn or stick to the bottom of the pan. When the cream mixture reaches a fast simmer (do not let it boil), turn off the heat. Set aside to infuse for 10 minutes.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together. Whisking constantly, gradually add the hot cream mixture. Strain into a large bowl to smooth the mixture and remove the vanilla bean. Pour over the bread rounds and let them soak for 15 minutes, gently turning the bread over once.
• Fill each ramekin with 1 soaked bread round. Spoon a tablespoon of jam into each ramekin, add some chocolate chips, if desired, then top off with a second bread round. If there is any remaining custard, pour it over the ramekins to top them off until they are almost full. Let soak in the refrigerator another 30 minutes.
• Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Arrange the ramekins in a hot water bath. Bake until just set and very light golden brown on top, about 25 to 30 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar and return to the oven for 10 more minutes to caramelize slightly. Serve warm or chilled.

CHOCOLATE-RASPBERRY BREAD PUDDING

Stir in bittersweet chocolate until melted., Stir a small amount of hot milk mixture into egg substitute; return all to the pan. Stir in vanilla. Pour mixture over bread cubes. Let stand for 5 minutes. Place half of bread mixture in an 11x7-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and half of raspberries. Top with remaining bread mixture., Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30-40 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
