Bread Pudding Ambrosia Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Whisk together the first 10 ingredients until blended. Gently stir in bread. Transfer to a greased 3-qt. or 13x9-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with brown sugar; let stand until bread is softened, about 15 minutes. Bake until puffed and a knife inserted in center comes out clean, 40-45 minutes., Meanwhile, for sauce, melt butter in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar; stir until dissolved. Gradually stir in cream. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer until thickened, 15-20 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; add vanilla, sea salt and baking soda, stirring well. Serve sauce with warm bread pudding.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with the butter.
• Toast the bread cubes on a baking sheet until they start to dry and harden, about 20 minutes. Set aside. Raise the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
• Whisk together the cream, milk, sugar, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, whole eggs and yolks in a large bowl. Add the bread to the bowl and stir until completely coated. Cover and let soak for about 30 minutes, pushing the bread down occasionally so that all the cubes are soaked. Meanwhile, pour hot water over the raisins, if using, and soak for 10 minutes. Once plumped, drain the raisins, add to the bowl of bread and gently toss.
• Pour the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake until the custard is set and the top is golden brown, about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, at room temperature or cold.

Steps:

• 1. My baguette was already dried out when I started. If yours is too, then use a chopping knife and slice it all into thin slices about 1/2 thick. Then stack some of them and cut them in half and half again, cutting the stack into quarters or even into sixths depending on the size of your baguette. The aim is to cube the bread. Put the bread cubes into a bowl to keep your cutting surface clear. If your starting with a fresh baguette you will need to use the quick dry method. The baguette will be easier to slice but you will have to spread the cubes out on a cookie sheet and bake them for about 10 minutes at 400 degrees in the oven to dry them out a bit. You don't want to toast them only dry them out. If you prepare the bread the day before you can put the oven at a lower temperature and turn the oven off and let them dry out overnight. If you use the quick method then let them cool before using.
• 2. In another bowl add your eggs, cream, milk, vanilla and cinnamon. Use a whisk to blend the ingredients. You could also put it in a blender or use a mixer, just so it's it's thoroughly blended.
• 3. Take each chunk of pineapple and cut it into four pieces. You could use crushed but you'd have to drain it more and the pieces would be to small. When you take these chunks and cut it into fourths the pieces are just right.
• 4. Add the raisins, coconut and pineapple pieces to the bread cubes and pour the egg mixture over top of it. Let it soak into the bread for 20 minutes before spreading out into your pan.
• 5. Spread the mixture out in a glass baking dish. I used a dish that measures 13 1/2 inches by 9 1/2 inches. You can use a smaller dish the only difference will be the pudding will be deeper. Just make sure your dish is deep enough so it all fits in. Cut six maraschino cherries in half so you have twelve cherry halves and put them on the top four rows of three. This way each piece, when you cut it, will have a half of a cherry on top.
• 6. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour. Some ovens cook hotter then others so after 50 minutes check it. Mine was perfect at 60 minutes.
• 7. After you remove the pudding from the oven allow it to cool at least 30 minutes. Some people like it cold and some warm. I like it warm. You can cool it overnight if you like in the refrigerator. Either way pour the sauce on while it is still warm. If you prefer to cut calories, you can leave off the sauce and top it with some cream, milk or whipped cream.
• 8. The sauce is made using the remaining ingredients, the powdered sugar, butter, milk and rum extract. If you would rather use real rum you can leave out the extract and milk. I think it is to strong and then you can only serve to adults. Cream the butter into the powdered sugar. Add the rum extract and milk. Beat it. The sauce needs to be thin enough to pour so if needed add more milk.
• 9. Drizzle the sauce over top of the pudding and serve or chill.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set. Add the honey, orange zest and vanilla.

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.
