Dessert

Ingredients

  • **Pudding:**
  • 5 eggs, beaten
  • 1 2/3 cups whipping cream
  • 1 2/3 cups milk
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar (250 grams)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/3 teaspoons vanilla
  • 6-8 cups stale bread cubes (white bread is best)
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • **Brown Sugar Sauce:**
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar (200 grams)
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/3 cup boiling water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • **Lemon Sauce:**
  • 1/2 cup sugar (100 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (8 grams)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon lemon rind, grated
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon extract

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, whipping cream, milk, sugar, salt, and vanilla. Mix well.
  3. Add the bread cubes to the mixture, ensuring they are well soaked. Let sit for about 10-15 minutes so the bread absorbs the liquid. If using, add cinnamon.
  4. Pour the mixture into the greased 9x9 inch pan. Bake for about 30 minutes or until the pudding is set and golden on top.
  5. While the pudding is baking, prepare the sauces:

Brown Sugar Sauce

Lemon Sauce

  1. Serve the bread pudding warm with either or both sauces drizzled over the top.
