Pudding Pralines Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease muffin tins with the butter.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla together. Whisk in the cream and milk. Fold in the bread and pralines. Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Spoon the filling into each muffin tin. Place the muffin tin on a baking sheet and bake for about 30 to 35 minutes or until the center is firm. Serve the pudding with the Anglaise sauce.
• In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the light brown sugar, granulated sugar, heavy cream, butter, and water. Place over a medium-high heat and stir constantly until the pralines reach the softball stage, 238 to 240 degrees F. Add the pecans to the candy, and pull the pan off the stove. Continue to stir the candy vigorously with a wooden spoon until the candy cools, and the pecans remain suspended in the candy, about 2 minutes. Spoon the pralines out onto a parchment or aluminum foil lined sheet pan and cool completely before serving.
• Heat the heavy cream, milk, and vanilla bean in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Place the egg yolks and sugar in a heatproof mixing bowl and beat until pale yellow in color and all of the sugar has dissolved. Temper about a half cup of the cream mixture into the egg mixture and whisk vigorously to incorporate well. Add the egg mixture to the saucepan with the cream mixture and cook, stirring constantly with a whisk, or wooden spoon. Be sure to stir in the corners of the pot and lower the heat slightly. Stir the mixture for 4 to 5 minutes or until the custard has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
• Remove from the stove and strain the custard through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl. Place the bowl in another bowl half-filled with ice and water to cool the custard. To chill the custard faster, stir it occasionally with a spoon.

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• In large saucepan over medium heat, combine pecans, sugar, butter, brown sugar, milk and vanilla. Heat to between 234 and 240 degrees F (112 to 116 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface.
• Drop by spoonfuls onto prepared baking sheet. Let cool completely.

Steps:

• Mix butterscotch pudding (not instant) sugar, brown sugar, milk and butter in a heavy 1 1/2 quart pan.
• Cook and stir to a full all over boil.
• Then boil slowly 3-5 minutes.until mixture reaches soft ball stage.
• Remove from heat.stir in pecans.beat until mixture begins to thicken, but still looks shiny.
• Drop tblsful of mixture onto waxed paper to form 3" pralines.
• If mixture thickens and starts to loose its shine, add a few drops of milk before dropping more.
• Let pralines stand till firm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Coat a 13x9-inch baking dish with 1/4 cup melted butter.
• Pour half and half and milk over bread in a large mixing bowl; let soak for 10 minutes before gently stirring. Stir eggs into the bread mixture until incorporated. Add sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and raisins respectively, stirring each addition into the mixture before adding the next. Spoon bread mixture into prepared baking dish.
• Bake in preheated oven until bread mixture is firm and pudding-like, about 50 minutes.
• Stir 1/2 pound unsalted butter, heavy cream, and brown sugar together in a heavy saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, stir pecans into the cream mixture, and simmer until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes; pour over bread pudding to serve.

Steps:

• Heat butter or margarine with brown sugar and nuts in a saucepan until melted. Spread in the bottom of the baked pie shell. Bake at 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) for 5 minutes. Cool.
• Prepare vanilla pudding mix with milk as directed for a pie; cool for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Measure 1 cup, cover with waxed paper, and chill thoroughly. Pour remainder into pie shell. Chill.
• Fold 1/3 cup whipped topping into the 1 cup reserved pudding. Spread over nuts in pie shell. Chill. Garnish with remaining whipped topping and chopped pecans.

Steps:

• 1. Mix all ingredients together in a medium saucepan. Cook over med-hi heat, stirring constantly, until boiling.
• 2. When top is covered with small bubbles, reduce the heat and cook 3-5 minutes longer. Remove from heat.
• 3. Stir to cool candy down. (I will usually put bottom of pan in cold water in sink to speed the cooling process) Top of mixture should still be a bit shiney. Drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper. Let cool completely, it will harden as it cools.
• 4. ****NOTE**** If mixture cools too much before dropping onto wax paper, it may begin to harden in the pan. ** Must work fast if this happens ** If mixture is not cool enough when dropped onto wax paper, it will run and may not harden at all. ** Use for ice cream topping if this happens ** I know this sounds like a picky process. I usually stir mine until the shine just starts to go...then I work quickly.
