Coconut Pumpkin Bread Pudding with Coconut Creme Anglaise

When I am damned to make something, nothing stops me. Even in bustling 90 degree weather, I will stand in front of a stove and bake. Call me crazy. In fact, today I was in such a mood for ramen, Joe and I drove 20 minutes to find the 1 ramen joint that did not have air conditioning…and  just for a bowl of spicy shoyu ramen. I really am crazy, aren’t I?

 I am envious of your snow and fall weather. I want to curl up in a sweater and bake pumpkin and apples up to my ears. But alas, we are stuck in this hot and dry conditions for the next few days. They call this “Santa Ana Winds”, which are strong winds that come from inland and are incredibly dry and hot. The only good thing about this weather is that the ocean will be warm for swims and I never have a frizzy hair day (girl problems).

I was thinking of posting step by step photos for this recipe, but honestly, it is the easiest dish you will make. But really, this pumpkin bread pudding is a 1 pot wonder. Throw everything in and wait an hour to have a sweet breakfast treat. The creme anglaise takes a bit more finesse. It is basically heating up cream and slowly adding egg yolks to thicken. That’s it. A super easy dish with a fancy name is what I’m always down for.

Oh and another tip…If you want, go “heavy” on the spice. I love the flavors of cinnamon and allspice and you can be a bit generous than I was in the recipe. But really, this is an “anything goes” type of bread pudding with a fun fall twist.  Enjoy!

Coconut Pumpkin Bread Pudding with Coconut Creme Anglaise

Author: Samantha Ferraro

Ingredients

Bread Pudding

  • 6-8 Brioche rolls roughly torn apart
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1 can Coconut milk
  • 1 1/2 cups Whole milk
  • 1 can Pumpkin
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp Allspice
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Coconut Creme Anglaise

  • 1 can Coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup Heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 4 Egg yolks
  • 1 vanilla bean split open and seeds removed

Instructions

Bread Pudding

  • Roughly tear apart the brioche rolls and place them in a large baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, combine all the rest of the ingredients to the bread pudding and whisk together. Pour mixture over bread and allow to set for at least 15 minutes.
  • Cover dish with foil and bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes.

Coconut Creme Anglaise

  • In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until very well incorporated.
  • In a small pot, heat the coconut milk, heavy cream and vanilla bean on low-moderate heat for about 5 minutes. Don't allow to boil.
  • Next, slowly (very slowly!) drizzle the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks while whisking at the same time. Do this very gradually and slowly so you don't risk cooking the eggs. Continue to whisk until everything is incorporated. Place the mixture back into the small pot and continue to cook on low until it gets thick. You want to see it coat the back of a wooden spoon, about 5-8 minutes.
  • Pour creme through a fine sieve and into another bowl. Place bowl into an ice bath to cool it down and stop its cooking.
  • To serve, drizzle anglaise over bread pudding.

*Chicken Saltimbocca with Speck and Herbes de Prov *Chicken Saltimbocca with Speck and Herbes de Provence*⁠
⁠
Boy oh boy, do I have a weeknight chicken recipe for you!⁠
⁠
My version of saltimbocca takes a bit of French inspiration and in my (humble) opinion, has bolder flavors!. ⁠
⁠
Pounded chicken cutlets are seasoned with aromatic herbes de Provence and layered with basil and smoky speck, seared and finished in a light white wine sauce.⁠
⁠
Saltimbocca translates to 'jump in the mouth', which is exactly what these flavors will do. ⁠
⁠
**Recipe is live on the site, head to the link in my bio and click on the photo for the recipe!**⁠
⁠
⁠
⁠
*Homemade Preserved Lemons*⁠ ⁠ New on the site *Homemade Preserved Lemons*⁠
⁠
New on the site, is a step by step guide on making your own homemade preserved lemons with some recipe inspiration and tips.⁠
⁠
There is nothing like the aroma of preserved lemons. Citrusy, bright and floral.⁠
⁠
You just need two ingredients and about two weeks time. Then chop or slice up to use in so many things, such as tagine or preserved lemon compound butter for fish.  How good does that sound?⁠
⁠
How would you use preserved lemons?⁠
⁠
(For the recipe + tips, head to the link in my bio and click on the photo!)
*Herb and Citrus Roasted Salmon*⁠ ⁠ Oh hello t *Herb and Citrus Roasted Salmon*⁠
⁠
Oh hello there citrus season! Sure, you could take winters sunshine and bake it into a cake or curd, but there is something about citrus + salmon that never goes out of style. ⁠
⁠
Wild salmon filets are packed with a fresh herb "crust" and poached in a bright white wine lemon and olive oil marinade. ⁠
⁠
I've made this recipe with so many different variations...different herbs or with blood orange would be fantastic! ⁠
⁠
What would you make this citrus season?⁠

⁠
*Braised Short Ribs with Red Wine*⁠ ⁠ What is *Braised Short Ribs with Red Wine*⁠
⁠
What is your favorite method of cooking? If I was left to one, it would be braised. ⁠
⁠
A good hard sear, then low and slow (preferably in red wine) for hours until the tough muscle fibers are forced to break down, soften and literally melt in your mouth. ⁠
⁠
A few herbs, some aromatics and then just let the braise do the rest of the work. ⁠
.⁠

(Head to the link in my bio and click on the photo to get this classic recipe!)
*Four Ingredient Lemon Herb Couscous*⁠ ⁠ Today *Four Ingredient Lemon Herb Couscous*⁠
⁠
Today, we're chatting about "back pocket recipes" as I'd like to call it. ⁠
⁠
Recipes that we all should know and can whip out at a moments notice. A few of mine are: creamy polenta, a bomb roast chicken and classic spaghetti and meatballs. ⁠
⁠
The other day, I shared my chicken tagine recipe and this simple lemon herb couscous would the perfect companion to those bold flavors. ⁠
⁠
What are you "back pocket recipes?"⁠
.⁠
.⁠
(Head to the link in my bio and click on the photo for the recipe, but really...just remember the 1:1.25 ratio and you're set!)
* Turkish Lentil Soup with Mint and Lemon*⁠ ⁠ * Turkish Lentil Soup with Mint and Lemon*⁠
⁠
When I think of Mediterranean cuisine, one of the first recipes that pops in my head is this robust lentil soup. ⁠
⁠
We were first introduced to this lentil soup in Istanbul and since, I have bright it to my  cooking classes, my site and in my book because everyone needs to experience how fantastic Turkish lentil soup is.⁠
⁠
Vegan and full of hearty grains such as rice, quinoa and lentils and flavored with smokey paprika and finished with fresh mint and bright lemon. This is what Mediterranean cooking is all about...bold, fresh flavors!⁠
.⁠

*Weeknight Chicken Tagine with Preserved Lemons an *Weeknight Chicken Tagine with Preserved Lemons and Olives*⁠
⁠
When someone asked me why I don't have more Moroccan recipes on my site and in my book, well, they were right. It's not a cuisine I grew up with, yet a lot of the flavors are very similar. ⁠
⁠
I took inspiration from the classic flavors of tagine and gave my own twist on it. ⁠
⁠
Chicken is marinated in an intense spice rub with saffron, preserved lemon and spices before being seared for that crispy chicken skin. Then simmer along with aromatics, sweet and tart apricots, buttery olives and more preserved lemon. ⁠
⁠
Have you made chicken tagine? What is your twist on it?⁠
