Ingredients
- 3 cups stale bread cubed ( brioche, challah, or plain panettone)
- ½ cup dried cranberries or 8 oz of fresh cranberries
- 3 Tbsp grand marnier liqueur or substitute hot orange juice for an alcohol free version
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp grated orange zest
For the Sauce:
- ⅓ cup orange juice (fresh, for a creamier sauce, use 1 oz (30 ml) orange juice and 2 oz (60 ml) cream)
- ¼ cup butter
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp Grand Marnier (optional)
Instructions
- Oven temp: 375ºF (190ºC)
- Place the cranberries in a small, deep bowl or mug, and cover with Grand Marnier (or hot orange juice). Let soak for at least two hours, or as long as overnight, if using Grand Marnier.
- Put the cubes of bread or brioche into a dish or ramekins which will accomodate them, then sprinkle with the cranberries and liqueur.
- In a small bowl or jug, beat the two eggs then add the milk, cream, sugar and orange zest, and continue to beat until all the ingredients are well combined. Pour the mixture over the bread cubes and cranberries.
- Allow to soak for about half an hour, then bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the pudding is puffed and lightly golden colored.
- While the cranberry orange bread pudding is baking, make the orange sauce by melting the butter in a small pot, then add the brown sugar, orange juice (and cream, if using).
- Let simmer for about 5 or 6 minutes, then remove from heat and add the Grand Marnier.
- Serve the cranberry orange bread pudding while still warm, with the warm orange sauce on top.
