Croissant Bread Pudding With Rum Sauce Recipes

RUM RAISIN BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Generously butter a 6 to 8 cup baking dish (we used an 11 x 7 inch casserole dish, but you can use whatever you have on hand). Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl combine the sugar, milk, rum, eggs, cinnamon, and salt. Use a whisk to thoroughly mix until completely homogenous.
• Add the croissant pieces to the mixture and toss to evenly coat. Last, fold in the raisins. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
• Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until the bread pudding has puffed up and is golden brown along the edges.
• While the bread pudding cools, make the creme anglaise. In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, add the cream, sugar, rum and butter. Simmer until the mixture starts to bubble around the edges. Make sure to keep an eye on it-you don't want it to boil or burn. Scoop out a bit of the mixture and mix it with the flour to create a thin paste. Slowly add the flour paste into the simmering sauce, whisking to combine. Allow it simmer for about 2 minutes or until the sauce has reduced and coats the back of a spoon.
• Take off the heat and allow to cool slightly before drizzling over the warm bread pudding. Enjoy warm!

CROISSANT BREAD PUDDING WITH RUM SAUCE

Steps:

• Whisk milk, sugar, butter, and eggs together in a large bowl. Add bananas. Add croissants and mix well.
• Pour mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Refrigerate for 1 hour so croissants can absorb some of the liquid.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven until center is set and top is golden brown, about 1 hour. Let cool for 30 minutes before slicing.
• Meanwhile, combine brown sugar, butter, and rum in a saucepan. Cook and stir until melted together, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in heavy cream. Pour warm sauce over the bread pudding right before serving.

CARAMEL CROISSANT PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Tear the croissants into pieces and put in a small gratin dish; I use a cast iron oval with a capacity of about 500ml/ 2 cups for this.
• Put the sugar and water into a saucepan, and swirl around to help dissolve the sugar before putting the saucepan on the hob over medium to high heat. Caramelize the sugar and water mixture by letting it bubble away until it all turns a deep amber colour; this will take 3 to 5 minutes. Keep looking but don't be too timid.
• Take the pan off the heat and add the cream - ignoring all spluttering - followed by the bourbon and milk. Whisk to mix, then still whisking add the beaten eggs. Pour this quickly over the croissants and leave to steep for 10 minutes.
• Place in the preheated oven for 20 minutes and prepare to swoon.

CHOCOLATE CROISSANT BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large bowl add the croissants and chocolate chips. Mix well with your hands. In a separate medium bowl, add the cream, sugar, cinnamon and eggs. Whisk the mixture until incorporated and a nice light yellow color is achieved. Slowly pour 1/4 of the cream mixture into the bowl with the croissants. Mix with wooden spoon. Repeat, slowly adding the cream mixture, until all the ingredients are incorporated.
• Transfer the bread mixture to casserole dish. Make sure the mixture is evenly spread throughout the dish. Bake for about 20 minutes. Check on the pudding, and make sure there is no burning. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and rotate the pudding 180 degrees. Continue to bake for 10 more minutes. Once the pudding is baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to sit for about 20 minutes before serving.

CROISSANT BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, egg yolks, half-and-half, sugar, and vanilla. Set the custard mixture aside. Slice the croissants in half horizontally. In a 10 by 15 by 2 1/2-inch oval baking dish, distribute the bottoms of the sliced croissants, then add the raisins, then the tops of the croissants (brown side up), being sure the raisins are between the layers of croissants or they will burn while baking. Pour the custard over the croissants and allow to soak for 10 minutes, pressing down gently.
• Place the pan in a larger one filled with 1-inch of hot water. Cover the larger pan with aluminum foil, tenting the foil so it doesn't touch the pudding. Cut a few holes in the foil to allow steam to escape. Bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake for 40 to 45 more minutes or until the pudding puffs up and the custard is set. Remove from the oven and cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Grease the baking dish with butter.
• Place croissant cubes in the the pan.
• In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together milk, heavy cream, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla until everything is blended.
• Pour over the top of cubed croissants. With the back of the spoon, push down the croissant so it will soak up the egg mixture.
• Cover with foil and refrigerate for 1 hour. This will let the croissant soak the egg mixture well.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes.
• Heat up the cream, sugar and butter in a medium sauce pan. Keep whisking until the sugar dissolves.
