I served this bread pudding at the first Christmas dinner I made for my in-laws. Everyone love it! Ingredients:
8 cups day-old bread cubes, crust removed |
2 medium tart apples, peeled and chopped |
1/2 cup dried cranberries or raisins |
6 egg yolks |
3 eggs |
1 cup heavy whipping cream |
1/2 cup milk |
1 cup sugar |
cream sauce: |
1 cup heavy whipping cream |
3 tablespoons sugar |
1 to 2 teaspoons vanilla or rum extract |
dash ground cinnamon and nutmeg |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine the bread cubes, apples and cranberries. Transfer to a greased 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish. In a bowl, combine the egg yolks, eggs, cream, milk and sugar. Pour over bread mixture.
2. Place dish in a larger baking dish. Fill larger dish with boiling water halfway up the sides. Bake at 350° for 50-55 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Remove from water bath. Cool for 15 minutes.
3. For the cream sauce, in a saucepan, combine cream and sugar. Cook and stir until sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat. Stir in the vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. Serve warm with pudding. Yield: 6-8 servings.
