The Recipe How-To

A perfect fusion of coffee and toffee in one dish.

Now, let’s dive into the recipe how-to section. This coffee toffee bread pudding recipe is pretty simple to make and doesn’t require any fancy equipment.

Step 1: Prepare the Bread

First, you need to make the coffee bread. Cut 6 cups of egg bread (or any other white bread you have on hand) into small cubes and place them in a greased casserole dish.

Step 2: Make the Custard

Next, combine 2 cups half-and-half cream, 1 cup milk, and ¼ cup ground coffee in a saucepan. Bring this mixture to a boil over medium-high heat and then immediately remove it from heat. Let it sit for a few minutes so the coffee can steep into the milk.

Then, whisk together 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, 6 egg yolks, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and the peel from 2 large lemons in a bowl. Slowly pour the milk mixture into this bowl while whisking continuously.

Step 3: Assemble the Pudding

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the custard mixture over the cubed bread and stir until all of the bread pieces are coated in custard. Sprinkle with some extra cinnamon.

Bake for 35-45 minutes or until set -when a toothpick is inserted it should come out clean.

Step 4: Make Toffee Sauce

While your pudding is baking, prepare your toffee sauce. In a saucepan, melt 1 cup unsalted butter over medium heat before adding 2 cups heavy cream and ½ teaspoon salt. After that, stir in 1 cup brown sugar, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes or until the sauce thickens.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Once your pudding is removed from the oven, let it rest for several minutes before drizzling with toffee sauce. You can slice it into pieces and serve warm – you’ll love the creamy texture of the custard, the crunchiness of the toffee bits, and the spongy texture of the bread that comes together harmoniously. This pudding is perfect as a comfort food during winter nights or any time you’re craving something sweet and soothing.

Serving and Pairing

Soft, creamy, and loaded with coffee goodness.

One of my favorite parts of this coffee toffee bread pudding recipe is how versatile it is when it comes to serving and pairing. It’s perfect for a cozy dessert alongside a hot cup of coffee or tea, but it can also double as a sweet breakfast or brunch option.

When serving this dish, I recommend warming it up slightly before adding a dollop of whipped cream or a generous drizzle of toffee sauce on top. The warmth from the bread pudding will help melt the cream or sauce just enough to create a deliciously decadent dessert.

If you’re looking to pair this coffee toffee bread pudding with a beverage, I suggest sticking with warm options like coffee, tea, or hot cocoa. These drinks perfectly complement the rich flavors of the recipe and add an extra level of warmth and comfort.

For those who enjoy a little bit of contrast in their dessert pairings, consider pairing this dish with a crisp white wine or even a light and fruity red wine. The sweetness of the bread pudding pairs surprisingly well with these wines and adds an interesting twist to your typical dessert and drink pairing.

Overall, there are countless ways to serve and pair this coffee toffee bread pudding recipe. Whether you’re indulging at bedtime or enjoying an early morning treat, this dish is sure to be a crowd-pleaser no matter how you choose to serve it.

Make-Ahead, Storing and Reheating

Once you've tried this dessert, you'll never go back. — Once you’ve tried this dessert, you’ll never go back.

Making this Coffee Toffee Bread Pudding in advance is not only convenient but also enhances the flavors. You can make the coffee toffee and the toffee pudding separately up to three days in advance, then assemble the pudding on the day of serving.

Once baked, let it cool completely before storing it covered in the refrigerator for up to four days. You can reheat it by cutting a slice and microwaving it for 30 seconds. Alternatively, you can put it back in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes until heated through.

You have an option to freeze leftovers, although I must warn you that the texture might change slightly due to ice crystals formation. To freeze, wrap individual portions tightly with cling film, then aluminum foil before storing them in the freezer for up to one month. When ready to eat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating using any of the methods mentioned above.

Make sure you don’t put too much sauce when reheating as it can make your bread pudding soggy. It’s preferable to serve sauce on the side rather than adding it into individual portions beforehand.

In conclusion, this coffee toffee bread pudding recipe is perfect for making ahead, storing, and reheating quickly for a warm and cozy dessert full of rich flavors at any time of day.

Tips for Perfect Results

The ultimate comfort food, upgraded with coffee and toffee bits.

When it comes to making the perfect Coffee Toffee Bread Pudding, there are a few tips and tricks that can make a significant difference in the final results. As a professional barista, I have experimented with different variations of the recipe and discovered some useful techniques that guarantee perfect results every time.

Firstly, use high-quality ingredients. The recipe requires simple ingredients such as eggs, milk, brown sugar, bread, and toffee pieces. However, make sure to use fresh, free-range eggs of a decent size; dense bread like Amish Friendship Bread or Hot Cross Buns will work wonders in this recipe.

Secondly, don’t overdo it with the liquid. One common mistake many people make is drenching the bread in liquid, resulting in a soggy and unappealing pudding. To achieve an ideal balance of tenderness and structure, use the precise measurements of milk, half-and-half cream and double cream based on the recipe.

Thirdly, let it rest before serving. Once you have taken out your pudding from the oven before the time lapse of 45 minutes, you can give your dish another 10-15 minutes to cools. This standing time helps set up the pudding so that it can keep its shape when serving.

Lastly, add some coffee for extra depth of flavor! This recipe relies solely on toffee flavors and tones but caffeinated drinks can be added to accentuate the flavor profile such as ground coffee sprinkled on top of pudding or mixing freshly brewed coffee into your custard base.

Following these tips are crucial for getting perfect results every time. Remember to be patient while making your pudding; slow and steady will produce better growth compared to immediately devouring it while hot!
