White Chocolate Custard
- ½ cup egg yolks
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 cups eggs
- 2 ½ cups heavy cream
- 1 pound white chocolate chips or cooking bars
- 4 cups croutons unseasoned
Ganache
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 pounds white chocolate chips or baking bars
Caramel Sauce
- ¼ cup corn syrup
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 pound butter
- 2 pounds brown sugar
Prepare the Custard
Combine the heavy cream, milk, and sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a quick boil.
Turn heat off and add the white chocolate. Stir until melted.
In a separate bowl, mix the eggs and egg yolks together. Temper the cream into the eggs. Whisk until combined.
Bread Pudding
Using a large ramekin or several small ramekins, spray the inside with non-stick cooking spray. Add 4 cups of croutons into the ramekin(s).
Pour the custard over the top. Using a spoon, push the croutons into the custard. Let soak for about 15 minutes.
Place in a shallow baking dish and pour water into the dish so the water covers about 1/4 of the ramekin. Place in a pre-heated 250°F oven. Cook for 2 hours or until set.
Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature in the water.
Caramel Sauce Preparation
Combine the butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, letting the brown sugar dissolve.
Add the heavy cream and whip vigorously to incorporate the cream. Keep warm until needed.
Serving Preparation
Remove bread pudding from water and turn upside down and the pudding should unmold from the ramekin.
Keep at room temperature for plating. Put pudding in center of platter or plate and pour the ganache over the bread pudding. Drizzle with caramel sauce.
Serve and enjoy!
