Best Orange Spiced Yam Pudding Recipes

PANETTONE BREAD PUDDING WITH SPICED ORANGE SAUCE

Steps:

• Arrange the panettone bread cubes to fit compactly into a buttered 2 quart casserole dish. Do not compress too tightly; set aside any leftover bread cubes.
• Whisk together 3 eggs and 1/2 cup sugar until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture becomes light yellow in color. Pour in the cream, vanilla, and 1 tablespoon orange liqueur; whisk to combine. Stir in 1 pinch salt, 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, lemon zest, and orange zest. Pour this mixture over the panettone cubes in the casserole dish. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Remove the bread from the refrigerator, uncover, and dot the top of the bread pudding with 2 1/2 tablespoons butter, and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of white sugar.
• Set casserole dish into a shallow pan that is 2 to 3 inches larger in diameter than the casserole dish. Set these pans onto the center rack of the preheated oven. Pour hot water into the outside pan, until it reaches a depth of 1 inch around the casserole dish, creating a water bath.
• Bake the pudding in the water bath until it is fully set and a knife inserted into the center of the pudding comes out clean, 1 to 1 1/4 hours. The water bath will help the pudding to cook evenly and maintain a light texture. Carefully remove the pudding from the water bath and cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
• Just before serving, make the sauce by melting 1/2 cup butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in 1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup orange liqueur, 3 tablespoons water, 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Stir and heat over medium heat until the sugar is fully dissolved and the liquid is heated through. Remove from heat.
• In a small mixing bowl, whisk 1 egg until well beaten. While whisking the egg, slowly pour 2 tablespoons of the hot mixture into the bowl with the egg. Then, while whisking mixture vigorously, slowly pour the warmed egg mixture back into the sauce.
• Place the saucepan back over low heat, gently stirring the sauce and raising the temperature slowly to medium. Continue to stir until the sauce almost reaches a simmer, reducing the heat as necessary if the mixture threatens to boil. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Spoon over the bread pudding and serve immediately.

SPICED SWEET POTATO PUDDING

Steps:

• Peel sweet potatoes and slice 1/8 inch thick. Cook in water to cover; bring to boil and cook until potatoes are fork tender, about 10 minutes.
• In food processor, process the potatoes slightly; add remaining ingredients (except crème fraîche) and process until smooth. (If processor is small, work in batches.)
• Place mixture in greased baking dish and refrigerate for 2 or 3 days or freeze for longer.
• To serve, bring to room temperature and bake in 350-degree preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes. Dot with creme fraiche, if desired.

SPICED YAM PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 8 x 8 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Beat yams and sugar in large bowl until smooth, about 3 minutes. Beat in eggs 1 at a time. Beat in orange peel, salt and spices, then half and half, orange juice and butter. Transfer yam mixture to prepared dish.
• Bake pudding until puffed and set in center, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Let stand 15 minutes. Serve warm.
