Condé Nast Cafeterias Raspberry Pudding Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 2-quart baking dish.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the cream, milk, egg and yolk mixture, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt. Make sure the mixture is well combined.
• Add half of the brioche to the prepared baking dish, and sprinkle evenly with half of the raspberries and chocolate. Top with the remaining brioche, raspberries, and chocolate.
• Pour the cream mixture over the brioche mixture. Press down gently, cover it with plastic wrap, and let stand for 30 minutes. You want the bread to soak up that luscious custard.
• Bring a kettle of water to a boil. Remove the plastic wrap and set the baking dish in a large roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with enough boiling water to get about halfway up the sides of the baking dish. Carefully place the pan in the oven and bake until the custard is set (even in the very center), and the bread has puffed, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool slightly and remove the baking dish from the water. Serve warm, room temperature, or chilled.

Steps:

• Add the milk and egg yolk to a measuring cup. Whisk to combine.
• Add 5 tablespoons sugar, the cocoa powder, cornstarch and salt to a medium saucepan, and whisk to combine, breaking up any lumps. Whisk the milk and egg yolk mixture into the sugar mixture until smooth.
• Set the pan over medium-low heat and cook the mixture until it thickens and starts to bubble, stirring the mixture constantly with a rubber spatula and making sure to scrape the corners and bottom of the pan. Once it bubbles, cook for an additional minute until thick and creamy, taking extra care to scrape the bottom and sides of the pan to avoid scorching the mixture, 6 to 8 minutes total. If you do get a few small lumps, whisk the mixture vigorously for a few seconds to smooth them. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
• Spoon the pudding into two small serving bowls or glasses, and press a piece of plastic wrap on the surface of each pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Chill for at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.
• When you are ready to serve the pudding, make the raspberry cream: Combine 1/2 teaspoon sugar with about 4 raspberries in a small bowl. Mash them together with a fork and macerate. In a medium bowl, whisk the cream with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla to medium peaks. Dollop the mashed raspberries over the top of the whipped cream and fold a few times. (The mixture should be streaky.)
• Top the pudding with the remaining raspberries and a dollop of the whipped cream. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix the raspberries with the jam and place in the bottom of a greased 9-inch round cake pan.
• Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter for 30 seconds. Gradually beat in the sugar. Beat on high 3 to 4 minutes, until light and fluffy. Set aside.
• In another bowl, beat the egg yolks, vanilla and lemon juice on high until they are thick and pale yellow. Beat into the butter, scraping the sides often. Stir in the flour mixture in 3 parts, alternating with the milk.
• Pour the batter over the berries. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out without batter on it, about 40 minutes. (Be careful not to overbake.) Serve warm, so that the center melts a bit when you cut the pudding.

Steps:

• Drain raspberries, reserving juice in liquid measure; add enough water to make 1 cup, set aside.
• In greased 8 inch square metal cake pan, toss raspberries with 1/4 cup sugar; set raspberry mixture aside.

• In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, water, and raspberries. Cook, stirring carefully so as not to damage the berries, until the mixture is hot, and the sugar is dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Line a 1 quart bowl with 5 slices of bread. Pour the raspberry mixture over the bread, and place the last slice of bread on top. Cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap. Place a weight on top of the bowl (canned goods work well), and refrigerate overnight.
• The next day, remove plastic wrap, and invert onto a plate. Serve chilled, with whipped cream on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F
• Line bottom of a 10 x 13 x 3 inch pan with half of the white bread. Evenly sprinkly half of the julienne apricots and half of the shredded coconut over the white bread. Top that with the remaining bread cubes and then the remaining apricots and coconut. Distribute evenly. In a sauce pan, heat milk, coconut cream, vanilla and granulated sugar until the sugar completely dissolves and the milk is tepid but not hot. Stir occasionally. Remove from heat. In a separate mixing bowl, beat the eggs, then temper them by slowly adding 1 cup of warm milk mixture while stirring. Slowly pour the egg/milk mixture back in the warm milk and stir until well incorporated. Ladle the mixture over the bread, making sure all the bread gets moist. Cover the foiland bake in a water bath for 1 hour. Remove foil and bake for another 5-10 minutes until golden.
