Banana Bread Pudding with Rum Sauce Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Banana Bread Pudding:
* 4 cups stale banana bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
* 1/2 cup granulated sugar
* 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 1 cup heavy cream
* 2 large eggs
* 2 ripe bananas, sliced
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
* 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
For the Rum Sauce:
* 1 cup heavy cream
* 1/2 cup granulated sugar
* 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
* 2 tablespoons dark rum (or to taste)
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together heavy cream, eggs, and vanilla extract.
4. Add the melted butter, sliced bananas, and chopped nuts (if using) to the cream mixture. Whisk until combined.
5. Add the dry ingredients to the cream mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Fold in the banana bread cubes until they are evenly coated with the batter.
7. Pour the mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish and let it sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
8. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the pudding is set.
9. While the pudding is baking, prepare the rum sauce. In a small saucepan, combine heavy cream, sugar, and unsalted butter. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
10. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the dark rum and vanilla extract. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
11. Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes.
12. Drizzle the warm rum sauce over the pudding and serve warm.
