WALNUT PUDDING

Steps:

• In a small heavy skillet, combine sugar, flour and baking soda; cook and stir over medium heat until light brown. Reduce heat to low; gradually stir in milk. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Stir in nuts. Pour into two serving dishes. Chill. Garnish with whipped cream and walnuts if desired.

BANANA WALNUT BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Add the cubed bread to the baking dish.
• Place the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium-low heat; cook and stir until the walnuts are golden brown and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg yolks, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, vanilla and nutmeg. Once combined, stir in the mashed bananas and 3/4 cup of the walnuts.
• Pour the custard over the bread cubes. Carefully toss to coat, making sure that the bread cubes are submerged in the custard, and let stand to allow the bread to soak up the custard, 10 to 15 minutes. Top with the remaining walnuts.
• Bake until the center is set, about 45 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes. Serve with vanilla ice cream.

MAPLE-WALNUT PUDDINGS

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan (off heat), whisk egg yolks with cornstarch and salt until smooth. Gradually whisk in milk, then pure maple syrup.
• While whisking, bring to a boil over medium heat; boil 1 minute. Off heat, stir in unsalted butter.
• Transfer to a medium bowl (strain, if lumpy). Press plastic wrap on surface of pudding; refrigerate at least 3 hours.
• Spoon into dishes; drizzle with more maple syrup or Maple-Walnut Sauce.

CARROT AND WALNUT PUDDINGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180 degrees C, gas mark 4. Grease 6 150ml individual pudding basins or ramekins. In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, oil, carrot, sugar, eggs, 1tsp vanilla extract and golden syrup. with an electric mixer 2-3 minutes until combined. Stir in walnuts and divide pudding mixture between basins. Cover each basin with a greased circle of baking paper. Fold a single pleat into 6 larger discs of baking paper (to allow for expansion). Place these discs on top of each pudding basin and tie with string.
• Place basins in a roasting tin and fill tin with enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the basins. Bake in oven 1 hour. Remove puddings from tin and set aside to cool about 5 minutes.
• While puddings are cooling, put mascarpone to a small bowl. Sift in icing sugar and add lemon zest and vanilla extract. Stir combine. Chill in fridge until ready to use.
• To serve, turn puddings onto plates and top with a dollop of the mascarpone mixture, drizzled with golden syrup and sprinkled with walnuts.

WALNUT BANANA BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter; place the remaining butter in a saucepan over low heat, and melt the butter. Spread the French bread cubes out into the greased pan, and drizzle the melted butter over the bread.
• Place the walnuts into a dry skillet over medium-low heat; cook and stir until the walnuts turn a light golden brown and give off a toasted fragrance, about 2 minutes. Watch carefully so they don't burn. Remove from heat, and transfer walnuts into a bowl immediately to cool. Set walnuts aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs lightly just to break yolks, and mix in the cream, condensed milk, coconut milk, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt. Whisk to thoroughly combine until smooth. Stir in mashed banana and 3/4 cup of walnuts. Pour the banana mixture evenly over the bread cubes, and push bread cubes into the mixture to coat well with the custard. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup of toasted walnuts. Cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate 8 to 12 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove plastic wrap, and cover dish with foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the foil and return to oven until the top is browned and the edges are pulling away from the pan, about 45 more minutes. Allow to cool before serving.

WARM WALNUT BROWNIE PUDDING

• Combine first 4 ingredients in small saucepan. Gradually whisk in 1 2/3 cups warm water and vanilla. Bring to simmer over low heat, whisking often. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over low heat before continuing.)
• For brownie:
• Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease 8 x 8 x 2-inch baking pan with shortening. Whisk first 5 ingredients in large bowl to blend. Mix in buttermilk, butter and vanilla, then walnuts (batter will be thick). Spread in prepared pan. Pour syrup over brownie layer.
• Bake brownie until sauce bubbles around sides and brownie layer has risen almost to top of pan and feels firm to touch, about 40 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool 10 minutes.
• Cut dessert into squares. Serve warm, accompanied by whipped cream.

SAVORY STILTON AND WALNUT BREAD PUDDING

• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool, about 20 minutes. Cut into bite-sized pieces.

WALNUT AND APPLE BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Coat the interior of the slow cooker insert with the butter.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread, apples, cinnamon, walnuts, and raisins and mix them together as thoroughly as possible. (I use clean hands, the best mixing device I know of.) Place the bread and apple mixture in the slow cooker insert.
• In a blender, combine the milk, sugar, and eggs and blend thoroughly. Gently pour the liquid over the bread, using a spoon to press the bread down into the liquid.
• Cover and cook on low for about 3 hours, or until the liquid has been absorbed by the bread and a crust is beginning to form.
• Turn off the slow cooker and allow the pudding to settle for 15 to 20 minutes, then spoon individual portions into bowls and top each portion with a generous serving of whipped cream and a sprinkling of brown sugar.
• Tea or coffee are good choices here. If you can find one, a Canadian apple ice wine would be delightful.

WALNUT-STEAMED PUDDING WITH VANILLA-ORANGE SAUCE

Steps:

• To make pudding, butter a 2-quart souffle dish with a tightly fitted lid. Have ready a pot with a lid, large enough to hold the covered souffle dish and a rack that will fit in the bottom of the pot to allow water to circulate freely under the dish. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil.
• Meanwhile, whisk the butter and the sugars together in a large bowl. Whisk in eggs, milk and brandy. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and walnuts. Add butter mixture and stir just until smooth. Scrape mixture into buttered dish.
• Place rack in the bottom of the pot. Cover souffle dish and place it in the pot. Pour in enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the souffle dish and cover. Check occasionally to make sure there is enough water and that it is simmering; add boiling water if necessary. Steam the pudding until a skewer inserted into the center barely comes out clean, about 1 1/2 hours.
• To make sauce, place milk, vanilla seeds and pod and orange zest in a saucepan. Whisk yolks and sugar together in a bowl. Bring milk mixture just to a boil. Whisking rapidly, slowly pour the milk into the egg mixture. Pour mixture back into pan and place over low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon -- do not let it come to a boil. Remove from heat and strain through a fine sieve. Whisk in orange juice. Refrigerate until cold.
• Carefully remove the souffle dish from the pot, uncover and let cool for 10 minutes. Unmold. Cut into wedges, place each wedge on a plate and surround with a pool of the orange sauce. The pudding can also be served at room temperature.
