Vermont Maple Bread Pudding With Walnut Praline Recipes

VERMONT MAPLE BREAD PUDDING RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• 1 Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray. Let frozen rolls stand at room temperature 10 minutes. Cut each roll into 12 pieces; place in large bowl. 2 In another large bowl, slightly beat eggs. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the syrup in small microwavable bowl; add remaining syrup to eggs. Stir in sugar, baking powder, half-and-half, milk and melted butter until well blended. Pour mixture over roll pieces in bowl; stir to coat well. Pour mixture into pan, pressing bread into liquid with back of spoon. Let stand 5 minutes; press down bread again. 3 Bake 45 to 55 minutes or until top is golden brown and knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 20 minutes before serving. 4 To reserved tablespoon syrup, stir in frosting and yogurt. Microwave on High about 20 seconds or until melted. Stir; pour over warm bread pudding and spread to cover. Cut into 12 servings. Serve warm with ice cream; garnish with mint and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

CREAMY MAPLE BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 1 1/2-quart casserole or baking dish.
• Place the bread cubes into the prepared pan. Whisk the eggs, milk, cream, syrup, sugar, flavoring, nutmeg, and salt together. Pour over the bread cubes and let sit for 15 minutes to absorb the liquid. Press the cubes down into the liquid if the edges are dry.
• Bake the pudding for 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the nuts and sugar. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, until the pudding has puffed up and is light brown around the edges. Remove from the oven and let stand for a few minutes-the pudding will sink as it sits; that's OK. Serve immediately, or reheat before serving.

MAPLE WALNUT PRALINES

Steps:

• Spread a sheet of waxed paper onto a flat working surface.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently. Slowly stream maple syrup into the saucepan while stirring with the butter; bring to a light simmer. Stir confectioners' sugar, cinnamon, and salt into syrup mixture with a whisk; cook and stir until the mixture is hot and the confectioners' sugar is completely dissolved into the liquid. Gently stir walnuts into the liquid just until coated and remove saucepan from heat. Let the mixture cool slightly.
• Drop walnut pieces by the spoonful onto the waxed paper and let each portion spread into a rounded mound; let cool completely until set, at least 30 minutes.

VERMONT MAPLE BREAD PUDDING WITH WALNUT PRALINE

Steps:

• Coat a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray. Stir the sugar and water in a heavy small saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat to high and boil without stirring until the mixture turns deep amber color, occasionally swirling the pan and brushing down the sides with a wet pastry brush, about 7 minutes. Stir in the nuts. Quickly spread the mixture on the prepared sheet. Cool, then chop the praline into small pieces.
• Whisk the eggs, cream, sugar, 1 cup maple syrup, and the vanilla in a large bowl to blend. Add the brioche; stir to coat. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Butter a 13 by 9-inch baking dish. Transfer the bread mixture to the prepared dish. Bake until puffed and golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Cool slightly.
• Cut pudding into 6 to 8 pieces. Place 1 piece on each plate. Place a scoop of ice cream atop the pudding, drizzle with maple syrup, sprinkle with praline, and serve.
• The PRALINE can be made 1 day ahead. Store in airtight container at room temperature.
