Cranberry Orange Bread Pudding
Dessert
Prep time:
40 mins
Total time:
1 hour 30 mins
INGREDIENTS
- Bread Pudding:
- ½ day old baguette, cut in to 1 inch cubes
- 2 cups half & half cream (10%)
- ½ tsp. vanilla
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup white sugar
- ¾ cup cranberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 ½ Tbsp. orange marmalade (or orange juice/zest)
- Butter Sauce (Optional):
- 2/3 cup white sugar
- 1/3 cup heavy (35%) whipping cream
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1 tsp. vanilla
INSTRUCTIONS
- Cut bread in to cubes and place in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk together the half & half, vanilla, eggs and sugar. Pour over cubed bread. Allow to stand at least 30 minutes and up to an hour, stirring a couple times while it stands.
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare ramekins by greasing and placing on a baking sheet (to catch any boil-overs).
- Add cranberries and marmalade to bread/cream mixture and stir to combine. Using a slotted spoon, spoon bread in to ramekins. Extend the bread above the edge of the dish to create a crispy top.
- Bake in pre-heated oven until a knife inserted comes out clean. (Check at the 30 minute mark.) Time will vary with size of ramekin.
- Optional, prepare Butter Sauce by combining all ingredients except the vanilla in a small saucepan. Cook, stirring regularly, over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil, about 5 minutes. Stir in vanilla.
- Drizzle sauce over bread pudding and serve.
