Vanilla ice cream melts over the warm bread pudding to form a sauce. If you have whole hazelnuts, toast them at 350º for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the skins are loosened. To rub off the papery skins, roll the nuts in a clean dish towel. Then chop as needed. Ingredients:
1 1/3 cups 2% reduced-fat milk |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa |
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, chopped |
2 large egg whites, lightly beaten |
1 large egg, lightly beaten |
1/4 cup frangelico (hazelnut-flavored liqueur) |
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
4 1/2 cups (1/2-inch) cubed french bread (about 8 ounces) |
cooking spray |
2 tablespoons chopped hazelnuts |
2 cups vanilla low-fat ice cream |
Directions:
1. Combine first 4 ingredients in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat 3 minutes or until chocolate melts, stirring constantly (do not boil).
2. Combine egg whites and egg in a large bowl; gradually add hot milk mixture to egg mixture, stirring constantly with a whisk. Stir in liqueur, vanilla, and salt. Add bread, tossing gently to coat.
3. Spoon mixture into an 8-inch square baking dish coated with cooking spray. Cover with foil; chill 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
4. Preheat oven to 350°.
5. Sprinkle hazelnuts evenly over pudding. Place dish in a 13 x 9-inch baking pan; add hot water to pan to a depth of 1 inch. Bake, covered, at 350° for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 5 minutes or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean. Serve each bread pudding piece warm with 1/4 cup ice cream.
