For bread pudding
- ½ loaf brioche bread ~ 1lb, cut or tear into bite sizes OR
- ½ c dried raisin
- 2 whole egg
- 2 yolks
- ½ c sugar
- ¼ tsp cinnamon powder
- 1.5 c heavy cream
To grease baking pan
- 2 oz unsalted butter melted
Coffee sauce
- 1.5 tsp instant coffee powder
- ½ c heavy cream
- ½ c water
- ½ c sugar
Grease a baking pan with melted butter. Please don't use bottle spray oil because it doesn't have many flavors.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, sugar, and cinnamon powder until the mixture is smooth.
Add heavy cream and mix well.
Then, add pieces of brioche and raisins. Let the mixture sit to soak in the flavor for 2 hours in the mixing bowl, stirring occasionally. While waiting, you can refrigerate the mixture.
For the coffee sauce
While waiting for the bread to soak in the egg mixture, combine all the coffee sauce ingredients in a sauce pan and cook on medium heat.
Stir constantly to dissolve the sugar completely. Bring just to a boil, then turn off the heat.
Store the sauce in a well-covered container and refrigerate it for up to a week.
For bread pudding
Pre heat oven to 350F.
Carefully pour the bread mixture into butter greased baking pan. Try to rearrange raisin underneath the bread. Don't leave them on top because they might get burnt during baking.
Bake until the pudding is set in the center, about 30-40 minutes.
Let the bread pudding cool at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before unmolding and slicing.
Variations:
- Chocolate bread pudding: omit the raisins, and add the same amount of chocolate chips into the egg mixture.
- Banana bread pudding: omit the raisins, and add 1-2 over-ripe bananas (cut into slices) into the egg mixture.
- Chocolate fudge sauce: omit the instant coffee powder and replace it with the same amount of chocolate chips. Combine heavy cream, sugar, and water in a saucepan. Bring to just a boil. Then, stir the cream mixture over the chocolate chips until they melt entirely.
