Coconut Bread Pudding W Raisins And Guava Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter, and dust with confectioners' sugar.
• In a large bowl, combine sugar, eggs, egg yolk, coconut milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and coconut extract. Mix until smooth. Stir in 1 cup of flaked coconut, and 1/2 cup fresh coconut. Fold in bread cubes until evenly coated. Pour into prepared baking dish. Set aside for 30 minutes.
• Bake on a cookie sheet in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Sprinkle top with remaining 1/2 cup flaked coconut. Continue baking for 25 to 30 minutes, or until center springs back when lightly tapped.

Steps:

• Set the dial to 325° and get the oven heating. Cut the crusts off the bread (save them for bread crumbs), and then cut the rest into 1-inch cubes, collecting about 8 cups. If the bread isn't day old, pop it into the heating oven for 5 to 10 minutes to dry it out a bit.
• Whisk together the milk, vanilla, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, eggs, and yolks in a large bowl. Stir in the raisins, coconut, and bread cubes. Soak for 30 minutes.
• Mix 2 tablespoons of the softened butter with the confectioners' sugar and smear it over the bottom and sides of a 9 by 13-inch pan. Pour in the bread-and-egg mixture. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of softened butter and drizzle it over the top. Pop the pan into the oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or til set in the middle and puffed and brown around the edges.
• Make the sauce while the pudding is baking. Combine the cream, confectioners' sugar, and butter in a saucepan. Set it over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Keep your eye on it so it doesn't boil over. Whisk constantly. Turn the heat to low and simmer for 3 minutes; then stir in the rum. Keep warm. (Makes 1 3/4 cups of sauce.)
• Pull the pan out of the oven when the bread pudding is done, and let it set for 10 minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature. Douse each serving with some warm sauce.

Steps:

• In bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, combine eggs and 1 1/8 cups sugar. Mix until smooth. In a small pan, bring cream to a boil. With mixer running at medium-low speed, slowly add hot cream. Add coconut milk and rum, and mix again just until smooth. Allow mixture to rest at room temperature for one hour.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Fill a kettle with water and place over high heat to bring to a boil. In an 8 1/2-by-12-inch baking dish, arrange challah slices so they overlap in two columns. Pour custard evenly over top, and press down lightly with a spatula. Place dish in a large, deep pan, like a roasting pan. Carefully pour in boiling water so that it comes about halfway up the sides of baking dish. Bake until custard is set but not too firm, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Sprinkle liberally with sugar, and caramelize it with a kitchen torch or by placing it under a broiler for 2 to 3 minutes. Serve, scooping out individual portions.
