Lemon Poppy Seed Bread Pudding

February 7, 2015 · by Carrie Trax ·

Lemon Poppyseed Bread PuddingHere is my second bread pudding recipe for my 2015 bread pudding mission.  This bread pudding is layered with a lemony cream and sprinkles of poppy-seed. If you think this is not enough lemon wait until you pour some warm lemon sauce over the top.  A burst of lemon flavor is in every bite!
Lemon Poppy Seed Bread Pudding
5 1/3 cups bread, day old and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup milk
1 cup heavy creamLemon Poppyseed Bread Pudding
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons sugar
juice of 1/2 lemon
zest of 2 lemons
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon poppy-seeds
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sugar
juice of 1/2 lemon

To make the bread pudding heat the milk with the sugar in a pan on low heat (or in a microwave) and stir until completely dissolved. Remove from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes. Transfer this mixture to a bowl and mix in the heavy cream. Whisk in the eggs and egg yolks gradually until well combined. Add the vanilla, lemon juice and lemon zest. Mix well. Stir in the poppyseeds. Set aside.

In another bowl, beat the cream cheese together with the sugar and lemon juice; set aside. Spray an 8×8 inch square baking dish with cooking spray. Arrange half the amount of bread cubes in a single, even layer. Drop dollops of the cream cheese on top of the bread cubes. Pour about 3/4 cup of the custard mixture over the bread cubes. Top with the remaining half of bread cubes. Drop dollops of the remaining cream cheese over the bread. Carefully pour the rest of the custard mixture evenly over the whole thing. Set aside for 1 hour at room temperature or overnight in the fridge, covered and let come to room temperature for 30 minutes before baking. Bake at 350 degrees uncovered for 45-50 minutes until the pudding is set. Best served warm drizzled with the warm lemon sauce.

Lemon SauceLemon Poppyseed Bread Pudding
3 egg yolks
6 tablespoons sugar
juice of 2 small lemons
zest of 1/2 lemon
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
4 tablespoons butter, cut into cubes
 

To prepare the lemon sauce combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Mix well. Whisk the egg yolks, sugar, lemon zest and lemon juice together in a pan over low heat. Stir constantly for about 4 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and continue stirring for 3 minutes or more until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat and add the butter, one cube at a time. Stir until smooth. Transfer to a container. Press a sheet of plastic wrap on the surface of the curd to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Heat in the microwave quickly before serving with the bread pudding.
