Ingredients

Bread Pudding:

  • 6-7 cups challah bread
  • 4 1/4 cups milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 TBS vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp ground allspice
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 cup raisins soaked overnight in bourbon if possible
  • 3 TBS butter melted

Creme Anglaise:

  • 4 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 vanilla bean
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 1 cup sugar

Coffee Syrup:

  • 3 1/2 cups water
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup ground coffee

Instructions

Bread Pudding:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C)
  • Put the bread into a large bowl, pour the milk over and crush the bread with your hands until it is well mixed and all the milk is absorbed.
  • In another bowl, beat the eggs well, then add the sugar, vanilla, allspice and cinnamon and mix well.
  • Gently mix this into the bread mixture, then stir in the raisins.
  • Pour the butter into the bottom of a casserole dish and coat well the bottom and sides.
  • Pour in the bread mixture, pack it lightly and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the edges brown and pull away from the sides of the pan.

Creme Anglaise:

  • Put the milk in a medium saucepan, cut the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape the seeds into the milk.
  • Put the pan over medium heat and bring almost to a boil, stirring occasionally.
  • Put a larger pan half full of water to boil on the stove for a bain marie.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the egg yolks together with the sugar until light and creamy, about 5 minutes.
  • Slowly add the hot milk to the egg yolks, stirring vigorously so they don’t cook – the mixture should be foamy.
  • Pour this mixture into a metal mixing bowl, then set this bowl above the pot of boiling water and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the foam disappears and the sauce begins to stick to the spoon.
  • Pour the sauce into a room temperature container and allow to rest until cool, then refrigerate until using it.

Coffee Syrup:

  • Prep 10 min cook 15 min 1 quart
  • In a medium saucepan over medium high heat, gently stir together the water and sugars.
  • Cook until mixture becomes thick and syrupy (approximately 10-15 minutes).
  • Allow to cool and stir in vanilla extract.
  • Add coffee and mix.
  • Fill jar with cooled mixture.
  • Add to dish as it is served.

  10. Trying to find challah around here is like trying to get into Fort Knox, almost impossible. I am definitely saving this one for when I do find it. Thanks for joining us this week at Celebrate Your Story and sharing your links.
