A creamy Apple Bread Pudding made with sweet bread and served with a vanilla custard sauce infused with Pernod Classic.
I’m past the halfway point with my Pernod Classic cooking project. It’s been so much fun and I highly recommend you to try using the unique anise flavored drink in some recipes at home.
I know you’ll be completely surprised. After my final side dish which is coming soon, I’ll have shown you how easy it can be to make a whole dinner and incorporate Pernod Classic into each course.
Let’s talk dessert! I’ve been waiting to make this dessert for a while, maybe it’s the pastry chef in me or maybe it’s just because it’s bread pudding, I mean…who doesn’t love this classic dessert?
Bread puddings are really easy to make but I always follow a few important, though not super- crucial steps. The bread should be a sweet bread like brioche or Hawaiian and butter, lots and lots of butter!
This is not a dish for calorie counting although it has apples in it so fruit is always a healthy addition, right? This time I chose to add the Pernod to the custard sauce.
All good bread puddings are served with this thick rich vanilla sauce made from mixing warm milk, eggs and sugar together. Don’t walk away from the sauce when it’s thickening or you might end up with a really awesome but sweet pot of scrambled eggs!
Once the sauce has thickened, pass it through a sieve just to get rid of any foam or pieces of egg. You’ll end up with a silky yellow sauce ready to take on the incredible flavor from the Pernod.
The sweet vanilla takes the strong anise flavor away and leaves a really mellow taste that goes so well with the bread pudding.
Another awesome reason to make this apple bread pudding is that you can prepare it the night before. Just throw it in the oven as you serve the appetizers and It’ll be ready just as everyone starts dropping hints about when dessert is being served!
I can almost guarantee no leftovers with this one.
Try pairing this Pineapple Juice, Lime and Pernod Classic cocktail with the bread pudding. It’s perfect as a dessert style drink and tastes fantastic with the sweet apples.
