Description

This Diplomatic Pudding is a luxurious take on traditional bread pudding, featuring stale country bread soaked in milk and eggs. The dish is elevated with a homemade caramel base, fresh orange segments, toasted almonds, and plump raisins. It offers a wonderful contrast of textures, from the soft, custardy bread to the crunchy nuts and chewy fruit. The subtle citrus notes brighten the sweetness, making it an elegant yet comforting dessert. Perfect for holiday gatherings or special dinners, this vegan-friendly recipe brings warmth and sophisticated flavor to your table.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Crust the stale white country bread and crumble it into a large bowl, measuring about 4 cups.
  2. Pour 2 1/2 cups of milk over the bread and let it stand for 1 hour to soften.
  3. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (93&# 194;°C) and place a 2-quart baking dish inside to heat.
  4. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine 1 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, and 2 tablespoons water.
  5. Stir the mixture until it bubbles and turns a deep caramel brown, about 10 to 12 minutes.
  6. Remove the baking dish from the oven and carefully pour in the hot caramel, swirling to coat the bottom and sides.
  7. Set the coated dish aside to cool slightly.
  8. Increase the oven temperature to 325 degrees F (163ðC).
  9. In a separate bowl, beat together 3 large eggs, the remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar, and 1 tablespoon vanilla until well blended.
  10. Stir the egg mixture into the soaked bread and milk.
  11. Add 1 peeled orange cut into supreme halves, 1/4 cup toasted slivered almonds, and 1/4 cup coarsely chopped raisins to the bread mixture.
  12. Pour the entire mixture into the caramel-coated baking dish.
  13. Bake on the middle rack for 1 1/2 hours, until set.
  14. Allow the pudding to cool slightly before serving warm, or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 hours before serving.
