Chocolate Orange Brioche Bread Pudding Recipes

CHOCOLATE-ORANGE BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• For the pudding: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• Whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, granulated sugar, vanilla and salt in a large bowl. Pour in the bread and chocolate chips. Toss until the bread is coated on all sides and the chocolate is distributed. Pour into the prepared baking dish. Bake until puffed and golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes.
• For the sauce: Meanwhile, place a small saucepot over medium-high heat. Set aside 1 tablespoon of the orange juice. Pour the remaining orange juice and sugars into the saucepot and whisk until combined. Bring to a simmer and simmer, whisking occasionally, until the sugars dissolve, about 10 minutes.
• Whisk together the reserved orange juice and cornstarch in a small bowl. Pour into the sauce and whisk until combined. Cook until the sauce becomes syrupy, about 5 minutes. Stir in the orange zest. The sauce will thicken more as it cools. Pour the warm sauce over the pudding and serve.

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Fold the chocolate chunks into the bread mixture. Spread evenly in the baking dish and sprinkle with sugar. Bake until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce: Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and cook, stirring, until lightly caramelized, 5 to 6 minutes. Whisk in the remaining 1 cup orange juice concentrate, 3/4 cup bourbon and the salt. Cook until thick, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the cream and simmer until the sauce coats a spoon, about 10 more minutes. Slice the bread pudding and drizzle with the sauce.
