Instructions

Pretzel Bread Pudding

  • Tear or chop pretzel bread into large pieces. Place in a food processor and pulse until coarse crumbs form.
  • Whisk milk, heavy cream, sugar, eggs, vanilla paste, baking powder, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Add pretzel bread pieces. Cover and refrigerate for 4-12 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray 15 ½ cup ramekins or muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray. Add ⅓ cup pretzel bread pudding mixture into each ramekin or muffin tin. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until centers of pretzel bread puddings are firm.
  • Cool for 5 minutes before removing from the molds.

Vanilla Sauce

  • Beat egg and sugar in a small bowl, then set aside.
  • Bring cream and ¾ cup of milk to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Slowly add ⅓ of the simmering cream mixture to the eggs, whisking constantly to temper the eggs. Carefully pour back into the saucepan.
  • Whisk cornstarch and the remaining ¼ cup of milk together in a small bowl. Add to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and add vanilla extract.
  • Place a mesh strainer over a bowl. Pour sauce through the strainer and cool to room temperature.
  • Cover and refrigerate for up to 7 days.
  • Enjoy!
