Banana Bread Pudding With Custard Recipe
Servings: 6-8
Cook Time: 35-40 minutes
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 55-60 minutes
Ingredients:
For the bread pudding:
* 2 cups stale banana bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
* 1/2 cup granulated sugar
* 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
* 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
* 1 large egg
* 1/2 cup heavy cream
* 2 ripe bananas, sliced
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
For the custard:
* 2 cups whole milk
* 1/2 cup heavy cream
* 1/4 cup granulated sugar
* 3 large egg yolks
* 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the melted butter, egg, heavy cream, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Whisk until smooth.
4. Add the banana bread cubes, sliced bananas, and nuts (if using) to the bowl. Toss until the bread is evenly coated.
5. Pour the mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish and let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
6. Bake the bread pudding for 30-35 minutes, or until it's golden brown and set.
7. While the bread pudding is baking, prepare the custard. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved.
8. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and vanilla extract. Gradually add the warm milk mixture to the egg yolks, whisking constantly.
9. Pour the custard mixture into a 1-quart baking dish and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
10. Remove the bread pudding and custard from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes.
11. Cut the bread pudding into squares and place a square on each serving plate. Top with a spoonful of warm custard and serve immediately.
Variations:
* Strawberry Banana Bread Pudding: Add 1 cup of fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced, to the bread pudding mixture.
* Peanut Butter Banana Bread Pudding: Add 1/4 cup of creamy peanut butter to the bread pudding mixture and top with peanut butter sauce before serving.
* Caramel Banana Bread Pudding: Drizzle caramel sauce over the bread pudding and custard before serving.
* Chocolate Banana Bread Pudding: Add 1/4 cup of cocoa powder to the bread pudding mixture and top with chocolate shavings before serving.
Tips and Notes:
* Use stale banana bread for the best results.
* If using nuts, toast them in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes or until fragrant and lightly browned.
* Custard can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
* Bread pudding can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
