Whenever you are in a hurry and want to make some easy dessert without having to go shopping for ingredients, then the following bread pudding recipe will surely become your favorite.
It uses simple ingredients like bread and bananas and turns them into something super tasty that nobody will be able to resist.
Here's my simple banana bread pudding recipe.
What you will need: - Bread cubes - 7 cups (crust removed) - Large eggs - 6 - Sugar - 3/4 cup - Salt - 1/2 teaspoon - Heavy whipping cream - 1 1/2 cups - Half and half - 1 1/2 cups - Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon - Dark brown sugar - 1/4 cup - Butter - 3 tablespoons (use unsalted butter) - Fresh lime juice - 1 tablespoon - Medium-sized ripe bananas - 4 Method: - Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet.
Lightly roast the bread in the oven for about 7 minutes to dry them.
I like to spread a little butter on them, but you can roast them as they are.
- Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
- Take the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract and 1/8 teaspoon of salt in a bowl and whisk them together.
- In a saucepan, take the cream and half and half and bring them to the boil on medium flame.
Simmer for two minutes and remove from the flame.
- Slowly pour the egg mix in the cream mix and whisk to mix well.
- Use a fine sieve to strain the prepared custard in a bowl.
Set aside to cool to lukewarm temperature.
- While the custard cools you can prepare the bananas.
Peel and slice the bananas lengthwise and cut them crosswise in thin pieces.
- In a saucepan, take the butter and brown sugar and stir on low heat till you get a sauce, then add the lemon juice.
- Toss the banana pieces in the sauce to coat from both sides and heat for 30 seconds.
Remove from heat and cool.
- Grease a wide glass baking dish (8x8x2 inch) or you can also assemble the pudding in individual dishes and bake, but I find a big dish of pudding easier to prepare.
- Take 1/3 of the roasted bread cubes and spread them on the base of the dish.
- Top the bread cubes with 1/2 of the banana slices and sauce.
- Pour 1/3 of the custard on the top to cover the bread and bananas.
- Take 1/3 of the bread cubes and spread them on top of the custard and repeat with a layer of the rest of the banana slices and syrup and 1/3 of the custard.
- Spread the rest of the bread cubes on top and cover with the remaining custard.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake the dish in a water bath for about 30 minutes at 350F.
(To make the water bath, fill a large, deep metal baking pan half way with water.
) - Remove the foil and bake for another 45 minutes until the pudding is puffed up and the custard is set.
- Remove and cool for 15 minutes before serving.
