There are people throughout life who make an impact on
you. An example is Jessica, the
patient woman who taught our 3 kids (and thousands of others) to swim. What a non-optional, life skill! I ran into Jessica at the grocery store the
other day. She was buying a challah to
make bread pudding because her daughter was begging for it. I had to have a recipe
that was begged for and she texted it to me immediately. You know my hesitancy with crock pots but this
is my style of crock pot cooking. The
bread pudding recipe is below; if you want swim lessons, check out Swimmers by Jessica.
Ingredients:
Bread Pudding
Tres Leches Bread Pudding (diamond accessories optional) |
1.
Nonstick spray like Pam
2.
2 1/4 cups whole milk
3.
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
4.
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
5.
1/2 cup sugar
6.
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
7.
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
8.
1 teaspoon kosher salt
9.
9 large egg yolks
10. 1
loaf challah bread, cut or torn into 1-inch pieces (stale is best)
Cinnamon Sugar Sauce
1.
3/4 cup sugar
2.
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
3.
1/2 cup buttermilk
4.
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
5.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6.
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
7.
Pinch salt
8.
1 teaspoon baking soda
Coat the insert of a slow cooker with nonstick spray. Line
the insert with aluminum foil for easy removal, letting some foil overhand for
handles.
Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole
milk, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, salt
and egg yolks. Toss in the cubed bread and mix to coat all the bread.
Add the mixture to the slow cooker, cover and cook on low
until the center of the bread pudding is set, about 4 hours. Remove the lid and
cool. Use the foil handles to lift the bread pudding from the slow cooker.
Drizzle individual servings with Cinnamon Sugar Sauce.
Cinnamon Sugar Sauce
In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, buttermilk, corn syrup, vanilla, cinnamon and salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove from the heat and slowly add the baking soda. At first the sauce will bubble up, just keep stirring. Sauce will thicken as it cools.

This one I want to try!
I am confused - are those "diamonds" edible?

But I am confused about the "diamonds" - edible?
Definitely worth a try!! These diamonds are not edible - they were part of the theme for the evening where I served the dessert. I bet someone makes rock candy diamonds and if not, there's a million dollar idea for you - courtesy of TBM! :)
This is way beyond my skill level ...
