O carro chefe da casa e famoso pudim de pão é uma delícia dos deuses, só mesmo experimentando para saber. Consegui a receita (em inglês), para quem quiser se arriscar na cozinha!!
Segue receita para 12 pessoas!
5 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
4 cups heavy (whipping) cream
2 cups milk
1 cup sugar
3 1/2 cups white chocolate morsels
6 large whole eggs, plus 12 large egg yolks
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 – 24” loaf of day-old French bread cut into
1/2” thick slices
Preheat oven to 325°. Brush a 9”x12”x2” baking pan
with 2 Tbsp. melted butter. Line pan bottom with
parchment paper.
Combine cream, milk, and sugar in saucepan over
medium heat, stirring until hot. Remove from heat and
add chocolate morsels, stirring until melted. Set aside to
cool slightly.
Whisk together whole eggs, egg yolks and vanilla.
Gradually drizzle the warm cream mixture into the eggs,
whisking until smooth and well blended. (If mixture is
too hot, eggs will curdle.)
Lay half the bread slices in prepared pan. Pour half the
cream mixture over bread and allow it to absorb the
liquid. Layer the remaining bread on top and pour the
remaining cream mixture over it. Press down the bread
until it absorbs the liquid. Cover pan with foil.
Bake for 1 hour. Uncover and continue baking until the
liquid in center has evaporated and pudding is golden
brown (about another 30 minutes). Transfer to wire
rack, cool and cut into six 2x3” rectangles, then cut each
rectangle into a triangle, wrap and refrigerate.
Raspberry Sauce
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp. grated orange zest
2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
Combine water, sugar and orange zest over medium
heat until thick and syrupy. Add raspberries, reduce
heat to low and cook until fruit falls apart. Let cool
and force the sauce through a sieve to remove the
seeds. Set aside.
White Chocolate Sauce
1/2 cup heavy (whipping) cream
1 cup white chocolate morsels
Warm cream until hot, remove and add the chocolate
morsels. Stir until melted and smooth.
To assemble: Preheat oven to 350°. Butter a rimmed
baking sheet and place the triangles of pudding onto
it, brushing each piece with butter. Bake until browned,
about 12 minutes.
To serve: Stand hot pudding triangle on its side. Run
a strip of White Chocolate Sauce across the plate,
including over the top of pudding. Pool some raspberry
sauce at opposite edges of the plate. Garnish with
raspberries and ribbons of white chocolate cut from the
chunk with a vegetable peeler.
