Fresh Blueberry Bread Pudding With Lemon Custard Recipes

LEMON BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes. Spread out on a baking sheet to dry out for at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Grease a 9-inch-by-13-inch baking dish with butter.
• Whisk together the half-and-half, eggs and lemon zest and juice. Add the sugar and stir until it dissolves. Put the bread cubes in the prepared baking dish. Pour the liquid over the bread. Let the bread soak up the liquid while you preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Bake until the crust is golden brown, 50 to 55 minutes. Let rest for at least 15 minutes.
• Serve warm with Bourbon Whipped Cream.
• Combine the heavy cream, sugar and bourbon in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer and begin mixing immediately on high speed until stiff, about 4 minutes.

THE BEST BLUEBERRY BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Vigorously whisk eggs, egg yolks, salt, white sugar, and brown sugar together in a large bowl until mixture turns light and frothy, about 1 minute. Add vanilla, cinnamon, lemon zest, milk, and cream; whisk to combine. Toss in bread slices and press down until they start to soften and are submerged. Let sit, pressing down occasionally with a spatula, until custard has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Brush 2 tablespoons melted butter in the bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Grab a few intact bread slices from the top of the bowl if possible and set aside. Transfer 1/2 of the remaining soaked bread into the prepared baking dish. Don't worry if it's falling apart, it should be; if not, break it up into pieces. Add blueberries and spread with your fingers to press them down into the bread. Add remaining bread pieces in an even layer, then top with the reserved slices. Pour any remaining custard batter over top and brush with remaining melted butter.
• Transfer bread pudding onto a baking sheet and place in the center of the preheated oven. Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 1 hour. Let sit for at least 20 to 30 minutes before serving.
• Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Coat an 8x8-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and add cubed bread to the bottom in an even layer. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, melted butter, vanilla, and lemon juice.
• Pour the egg mixture over the brioche, pressing down with a spatula to make sure that each piece of bread is thoroughly coated.
• Sprinkle the blueberries over the top and use your spatula to gently distribute them throughout the mixture.
• Allow the dish to sit for 15-20 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the custard. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 350°F.
• Bake for 50 minutes, or until the edges are fully set and the center is only slightly jiggly.
• Allow to cool for 10 minutes then enjoy.

LEMON BLUEBERRY BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• In a small bowl, rub the granulated sugar and the lemon zest together until well mixed. Then, reserve 2 Tbsp of the lemon sugar for later.
• Next, in a blender, add half & half, eggs, vanilla extract, sour cream, lemon juice, and the lemon sugar. Blend the custard until well combined.
• Spray 10 small ramekins with baking spray, or grease with unsalted butter. (Alternatively, you can bake this in a 9x13 baking dish.)
• Divide half of the bread in the ramekins. Press down on the bread slightly to help pack it in. Sprinkle 2/3 of the blueberries on top of the bread (dividing the blueberries as evenly as possible among each ramekin).
• Divide half of the custard in the ramekins.
• Top each ramekin with the remaining bread and blueberries, pressing the bread down slightly again.
• Add the remaining custard on top, pouring gently in the ramekings and over the bread, doing your best to make sure all of the bread on top is moist.*
• Let the bread puddings soak for 45 minutes in the fridge.
• Lastly, sprinkle the 2 Tbsp of lemon sugar on top, dividing evenly among the ramekins.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and line a large baking sheet with parchment or non-stick foil. Place the ramekins on the baking sheet.
• Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the custard is set and knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. If the bread is browning too quickly, tent with foil and continue baking until the custard is set.
• Serve these lemon blueberry bread puddings warm, topped with ice cream, whipped cream, or icing. (Bread pudding will deflate as it cools, which is normal.)

BLUEBERRY BREAD PUDDINGS WITH LEMON CURD

Steps:

• To prepare puddings, combine first 4 ingredients in a large bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Add bread, tossing gently to coat. Cover and chill 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Divide half of bread mixture evenly among 8 (6-ounce) ramekins or custard cups coated with cooking spray; sprinkle evenly with 3/4 cup berries. Divide remaining bread mixture among ramekins; top with 3/4 cup berries.
• Cover each ramekin with foil. Place ramekins in a 13 x 9-inch baking pan; add hot water to pan to a depth of 1 inch. Bake, covered, at 350° for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 15 minutes or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean.
• To prepare lemon curd, combine 1/3 cup sugar and 1 egg in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring with a whisk. Cook 2 minutes or until sugar dissolves and mixture is light in color, stirring constantly. Stir in lemon juice and butter; cook 2 minutes or until mixture coats the back of a spoon, stirring constantly with a whisk.
• Place saucepan in a large ice-filled bowl for 5 minutes or until lemon curd cools to room temperature. Serve lemon curd over warm bread puddings.

LITTLE BLUEBERRY PUDDINGS WITH LEMON CURD SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and put the kettle on. Butter 6 individual pudding basins or dariole moulds and line the bottoms with circles of baking parchment. Beat the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, then beat in the eggs one by one. Fold in the flour and lemon zest with the juice from half a lemon. Divide between the moulds, and evenly scatter the blueberries over each.
• Sit the moulds in a roasting tin or baking dish just big enough to hold them all. Pour in boiling water from the kettle to come halfway up the sides. Bake for 30-40 mins until risen and a skewer poked in the centre comes out clean.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce. Tip the lemon curd into a small pan and gently warm. Gradually mix the juice from 1 lemon into the cornflour until you have a smooth paste, then stir into the lemon curd. Bubble for 1-2 mins, stirring, until smooth. Keep at room temperature.
• To serve, carefully release each pudding from its mould by running a cutlery knife around the edge. Turn out onto serving dishes and spoon the lemon sauce on top. Eat with a dollop of crème fraîche or yogurt.
