Banana Walnut Bread Pudding Wrum Sauce Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Stir together the bananas, granulated sugar, Worcestershire sauce, oil, brown sugar and eggs in a medium bowl. Let rest at room temperature 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan and dust with 2 tablespoons flour.
• Whisk together the walnuts, baking powder, cinnamon and remaining 1 1/2 cups flour in a large bowl and toss to coat the walnuts. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool a bit before removing from pan, slicing and serving.

Steps:

• Bring the cream to a simmer. Meanwhile, whisk yolks, sugar and salt until the sugar dissolves. Scrape the vanilla-bean seeds into the yolks and toss the husk into the cream.
• Whisking constantly, pour a small amount of hot cream into the yolk mixture, then whisk in the rest. Strain through a fine sieve and discard the vanilla-bean husk.
• Place the bread, bananas and walnuts in a deep 9-inch-by-13-inch baking pan. Pour in enough cream mixture to cover the bread well (you may have a bit left over). Let sit for 20 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix the bread pudding gently, then cover the pan with foil. Place in a larger pan, add enough hot water to come partway up the sides of the pan and bake until the pudding is set and a knife inserted comes out almost clean, about 1 1/2 hours. Serve with banana caramel sauce.

Steps:

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.
