Creamy Philly Maple Bread Pudding Recipes

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.

Steps:

• In large bowl, mix eggs, 1 cup maple syrup and the cinnamon with wire whisk until well blended. Beat in milk and vanilla until well blended. Stir in bread pieces. Let stand 30 minutes.
• Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 11x7-inch (2-quart) glass baking dish with softened butter. Stir pecans into bread mixture. Pour into baking dish.
• Bake uncovered 65 to 70 minutes or until top is puffed and light golden brown (center will jiggle slightly). Cool 30 minutes.
• In small bowl, mix ice cream, bourbon and 1 tablespoon maple syrup until well blended. Serve sauce over warm bread pudding. Store bread pudding and sauce covered in refrigerator.

Steps:

• In a medium pot set over medium-low heat combine the milk, maple syrup, cream, salt, vanilla bean and seeds. Give it a good stir and heat until it just starts to bubble.
• In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cornstarch, and mix together with a fork. Slowly sprinkle the cornstarch mixture into the heated cream while constantly whisking.
• Whisk the egg yolks in a medium bowl. Slowly pour about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture into the eggs to temper them. Whisk the egg mixture into the hot milk. While continuously stirring, cook on low heat until the mixture thickens to the consistency of thick pancake batter, 6 to 7 minutes. Turn the heat off, and slowly whisk in the butter. Remove the vanilla pod.
• Transfer the pudding to a clean bowl and place a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of the pudding (this eliminates a film forming on the pudding). Cool to room temperature then chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Spoon the pudding into serving cups and top with some Bourbon Whipped Cream, then serve.
• In a large, chilled metal bowl combine the cream and sugar. Using a hand mixer fitted with a whisk, whip until soft peaks form. Pour in the bourbon and continue to whip until the cream is stiff, but not over-whipped.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Butter a 9 by 9-inch baking dish and line it with plastic wrap going up the walls of the pan.
• Cut up the croissants into 1-inch cubes and place them on a sheet pan. Place in oven and toast for 10 to 15 minutes until slightly crisp, then place them in a bowl.
• Meanwhile, in a saucepan, heat the half-and-half, cream, salt, and vanilla bean over medium heat, stirring occasionally to make sure the mixture doesn't burn or stick to the bottom of the pan. When the cream mixture reaches a fast simmer (do not let it boil), turn off the heat. Set aside to infuse for 10 minutes.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together. Whisking constantly, gradually add the hot cream mixture. Strain over the croissant cubes to remove the vanilla bean, and let soak 15 minutes, gently turning the cubes over once. Empty the mixture into the baking dish. Let soak another 30 minutes, or overnight, in the refrigerator. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the baking dish in a hot water bath. Bake until just set and very light golden brown on top, about 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool, then chill in the refrigerator 4 hours or overnight. The next day, turn out the pudding and cut round 3-inch plugs from the pudding, place them on a microwave-proof pan and cover with plastic wrap.
• To serve, warm maple syrup in a saucepan and keep warm. Warm the plugs of bread pudding in the microwave and serve topped with hot maple syrup. Serve with ice cream.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, syrup and butter; stir in bread cubes., Transfer to a well-greased 1-qt. pudding mold or ovenproof bowl; cover tightly. Place on a rack in a deep kettle; add 3 in. of hot water to pan. Bring to a gentle boil; cover and steam for 1 hour or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, adding water to pan as needed., Let stand for 5 minutes before unmolding onto a serving plate; serve warm with whipped cream. Refrigerate leftovers.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cut bread into 3/4 inch cubes. Arrange cubes in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Whisk together the eggs, egg white and sugar in a bowl. Stir in the milk, syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Pour mixture over bread.
• Bake in preheated oven until lightly browned on top and middle is set, about 40 minutes.
• Warm the caramel sauce; drizzle over the bread pudding before serving.

Steps:

• For praline:
• Spray rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray. Stir sugar and 1/4 cup water in heavy small saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to high and boil without stirring until mixture turns deep amber color, occasionally swirling pan and brushing down sides with wet pastry brush, about 7 minutes. Stir in nuts. Quickly spread nuts on prepared sheet. Cool. Chop praline into small pieces. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Store in airtight container at room temperature.)
• For bread pudding:
• Whisk eggs, cream, sugar, 1 cup maple syrup, and vanilla in large bowl to blend. Add brioche; stir to coat. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter 13x9x2-inch baking dish. Transfer bread mixture to prepared dish. Bake until puffed and golden and toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Cool slightly. Cut into 6 to 8 pieces. Place 1 piece pudding on each plate. Place scoop of ice cream atop pudding, drizzle with maple syrup, sprinkle with praline, and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Melt butter in large skillet on medium-high heat. Add apples; cook 5 to 7 min. or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, beat cream cheese spread, eggs and vanilla in large bowl with whisk until well blended. Gradually whisk in milk. Reserve 1 Tbsp. syrup; stir remaining syrup into cream cheese mixture. Add bread cubes; stir to evenly coat.
• Add apples to bread mixture; mix lightly. Pour into 9-inch square baking dish sprayed with cooking spray.
• Bake 40 min. or until pudding is set in centre and top is golden brown. Drizzle with reserved syrup. Let stand 10 min. before serving.

Steps:

• Butter a 10- or 12-inch soufflé or baking dish and put the bread in it. Cut the remaining butter into bits and combine it with all the other ingredients; pour over the bread. Submerge the bread with a weighted plate and turn the oven to 350°F.
• When the oven is hot, remove the plate (scrape any butter back onto the bread) and bake until the pudding is just set but not dry, 45 to 60 minutes. The top will be crusty and brown. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature, with or without whipped cream.
