Date Panettone Bread and Butter Pudding Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 12 dried dates
  • 1/3 cup pecans
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/4 cups maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 pinches nutmeg
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg (for grating)
  • Panettone bread, sliced into triangles (enough to cover a 4-cup baking dish)

Instructions:

  1. Preparation:

    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
    • Grease a 4-cup baking dish generously with butter.
  2. Layering:

    • Arrange half of the panettone triangles in the prepared baking dish, overlapping them slightly.
    • Scatter half of the pecans over the panettone, followed by the chopped dates.
    • Add another layer of panettone triangles on top, overlapping them as before.
  3. Prepare the Custard:

    • In a small saucepan, heat the butter, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until just simmering. Remove from heat.
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, maple syrup, honey, and a pinch of nutmeg.
    • Gradually pour the hot cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisking vigorously to prevent curdling.
  4. Assembly:

    • Pour the custard mixture evenly over the layered panettone in the baking dish. Gently press down on the panettone to ensure it’s fully submerged in the liquid.
    • Allow the pudding to sit for 15-20 minutes, allowing the bread to soak up the custard.
  5. Prepare the Topping:

    • Lightly moisten the remaining pecans with a sprinkle of water.
    • Toss the moistened pecans in a mixture of cinnamon and light brown sugar.
    • Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar pecans over the pudding, along with any remaining cinnamon sugar mixture.
    • Grate a small amount of nutmeg over the top.
  6. Baking:

    • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the pudding has risen and developed a beautiful golden color.
  7. Serving:

    • Once baked, remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool slightly.
    • Serve warm, optionally topped with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of maple syrup.

This Date Panettone Bread and Butter Pudding is a delightful blend of textures and flavors, making it a perfect dessert to enjoy with family and friends during the holiday season or any time you’re craving a comforting sweet treat. Enjoy! 🍮
