Having left over fruit, bread, cream etc form my New Orleans party I came up with this recipe! Hope you try and enjoy it! I guess I am on a bread pudding roll!! Often Imake my bread puddings in loaf form instead of a flat dish or casserole . Ingredients:
mix and soak |
3 cups diced mixed ripe mango and peaches( 1 large ripe mango |
1 large ripe peach or as needed to make 3 cups fruit) |
1/2 cup dark raisins |
1/4 cup light rum |
mix and soak |
1 loaf stale french bread sliced or cubed ( some french loaves are wide and fat, i use the more narrow ones ) |
2 cup heavy cream, warmed in the micro or stove top |
beat till pale and thick and lemon colored |
4 large eggs, room temp |
1 cup sugar |
1 tsp clear vanilla |
1 tsp mixed apple pie spices ( or pinches of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves ) |
dash salt |
extra cream or half and half if needed if mixture seems too dry |
unsalted butter pats |
grated nutmeg |
Directions:
1. 2, 8 x 4 inch loaf pans
2. Combine the soaked bread with the egg mixture and spices, salt and blend well
3. Add and combine gently the soaked fruit
4. Divide into 2 loaf pans
5. Let sit on the counter 1/2 hour or longer, ( unbaked mixture may be prepared several hours ahed of time ) making sure bread is immersed; if desired add a little bit more cream or half and half over the top of the bread pudding and press gently so bread absorbs the liquid
6. Slice a pat or two of butter onto each loaf
7. Sprinkle with nutmeg
8. Bake in a 350F oven 45 misn to 1 hour or puffed and golden
9. Cool on racks to warm
10. Serve ( spoon ) right from the pan topped with some flavored whiped cream ( sweented with rum or mango syrup )
11. Garnish with a mint leaf if desired
12. Cold refrigerated pudding may be sliced from the loaf, plated and reheated and topped with any dessert sauce ( butter, rum berry,coconut ) etc if desired
13. So, this is good either, warm, room temp or even reheasted when cold!
14. And from past experience from making bread puddings this freezes well too
15. Variations: try cream of coconut for part of the liquid, add chopped drained marachino cherries for color, if you like coconut, add some to the fruit mixture
