CARAMEL BREAD PUDDING (EGGLESS) | PUDDING RECIPES



   I remember I ate pudding for the first time in a wedding feast,when I was studying in my lower primary. Of course it was an Indianized version and mostly puddings will be pineapple puddings those days. One of my uncles used to make fun by adding pudding to each and every thing we eat. But truly speaking I had no idea about puddings. Now though blogging world, I am now very happy to try a pudding recipe on my own and that too with my favourite caramel flavour!
           I love caramel flavour for no reasons from my childhood. The Nutrine caramello was my favourite toffee then, among all the toffees from nutrine my dad used to buy for us. Other than that,till date I love 5 star like anything. It tastes out-of-the-world for me, may be the chewy texture is what I like along with its flavour.  And coming to this pudding recipe, I bookmarked this from Tasty Treats few months back. At last I made this and loved it a lot. Simple ingredients and exotic pudding recipe Day dreaming.


Ingredients

Bread slices 8
Milk 1 & 1/2 cups
Sugar 2/3 cup (11 tblsp approx)
Sugar for caramel 2 tblsp
Vanilla essence 1 tsp
Nuts(optional) for garnishing

 

Method


    1. Tear the bread into pieces and add milk to it. Mash it well with potato masher. Mix vanilla and sugar and keep aside.
     2. keep ready the vessel(flat 6 inch bowl or any other similar) and heat a pan with sugar and 2 tsp water. Tilt the pan frequently for even heating and take care not to burn the sugar. At one stage the sugar starts turning deep golden yellow.
    3. Pour the caramel in the vessel and tilt to coat the bottom and a bit in the sides as well. Let it set for two minutes and pour the bread mixture to it.
    4. Steam cook it by covering the vessel with aluminium foil with holes pricked for the steam to escape. Steam for 20-25 minutes.
    5. After that,cool down and keep it in refrigerator for 2 hours minimum and then invert it  to a plate. You can cut it to desired shape before serving.

  
    You can enjoy it cold as such or you can drizzle some caramel /butterscotch syrup as I did. I used Hershey’s store bought syrup . You can also serve it with Vanilla ice cream along with it.



Notes
  • Be sure you dont over heat the sugar syrup after it turns golden in colour, otherwise it may taste bitter. Also take care not to burn it in the sides of the pan,tilt it frequently to avoid this.
  • You can top with nuts if you like.
  • Don’t add more milk or sugar than mentioned. The pudding by itself is gooey and sticky, so adding more of any one of the above may not set properly.
  • Give at least a day for setting, before serving/eating to enjoy the fullest flavour!
  • I used my pressure cooker for steaming,without the pressure regulator(valve/weight)

Mitha said...

Many Thanks Raji !!!
I used to hate eating bread pudding due to its eegy taste
hence I have been hunting for an eggless bread pudding. I am glad that I found this !!
no wonder I often come here for many eggless recipes
I plan to make it tomorow .
Have a doubt
can I bake it rather than steaming
I have seen many recipes baking the pudding raher than steaming.
Plz suggest me asap am gonna make it tomorow

Annapoorani said...

wowwwwwwwww Raji loved it and would try it someday...
one question I don't find "Caramel" in the ingredient list...Did I miss anything?clarify me :)

Divya Kudua said...

Such a simple but awesome recipe Raks.I love Caramel flavor myself,so got to try this.I think you should try making dulce de leche,you'll love it!

Annapoorani said...

and Raji is the aluminium foil a must while steaming?

RAKS KITCHEN said...

Annapoorani, we are making caramel in this recipe with sugar(step 2) and I think aluminium foil helps it steaming properly and quickly,also if we don't cover,there may some water on the top.

Poornima Nair said...

I'm so happy you tried it and even more so that you liked it. Beautiful pictures, I want to make it again:)

RAKS KITCHEN said...

food&food only,Mitha,
I think you can try baking this as well.But I am sorry,I have no idea about the temperature. You can refer other pudding recipes for the temperature and timing.

Shanthi said...

Wonderful recipe and tips. But not able to see pictures.

Shanthi said...

Now I am able to see. Wonderful

Annapoorani said...

Thanks a lot Raji

Divya said...

tempting clicks raji... love it... i tried making caramel custard long back but ended up in a recipe that tasted so bitter... i went wrong on the caramelizing part & never tried any caramel recipes then... now that i understood the process of caramelization i am definitely going to try this pudding... you always explain so clearly on the minute details of cooking which will have a great impact on the taste of the recipe... hats off to u...

Paaka Shaale said...

Anisha said...

The timing of this recipe in my mail is perfect. My friend asked me to make bread pudding and made excuses as I've never had it before and thought it might be too much work. But this seems simple and I guess I'll get the ingredients easily too.

The pictures are tempting me to try it soon. :)

smita said...

Hi

Love your recipes, so far used to read but today tried this. turned out excellent, exceptthat the caramel stuck down to the pan. can I dribble caramel syrup again.

thanks from smita, india, email fabsmita@gmail.com

RAKS KITCHEN said...

Hi Smita, yes you can just melt by keeping the pan in boiling water and use the melt syrup again. Donot melt again in direct flame.

sahi said...
