For those of you who don't know Joe Louis, know that he was one of the great Heavy Weight Boxing champion from 1937 to 1948. He was known for his stand on civil rights as well as his mastery in the ring. He used his position of national prominence to move against racial injustice.
BREAD PUDDING is one of my favorite deserts , a few years ago I went to King of Prussia Pa. for a Crochet Convention and I stayed in the Raddison Hotel. Well I should of went in the kitchen to talk to the Chef but I didn't. Well during my weekend there I enjoyed the best Bread Pudding I had ever eaten It was cooked in a way I never experienced before, instead of the bread being cut into squares the bread was blended in a blender or food processor it was creamy and smooth with just a little crunch on top. It was so good it drove me almost crazy and I made sure I had some every day during my three day stay,
When I returned home, I went to work researching what the chef could have done to make the Bread Pudding the way it was but to no avail. I was able to capture the taste but not the texture, so I decided that it had to be the bread So now I am at it again ! This desert is very rich so I don't make it very often but when I do, I really enjoy myself.
The bread I use is called CHALLAH BREAD. Italian Bread or French Brioche bread are also very good to use.
instructions:
Challah bread
half & half
3 large eggs
Cream of coconut
1 cup of sugar
Craisins
After you cut up the bread into cubes, you pour the milk mixture with half & half, eggs, sugar and vanilla, let it set for about 10 minutes.
For the topping you mix brown sugar cinnamon and nuts of your choice to the top, then place in the oven at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes or until a knife inserted comes out clean.
Bread Pudding can be served warm or cold. I like to put whipped cream or use light cream to pour over the top. Ice cream is good also
Those that remember the " Brown Bomber" loved Sweet Harlem and Harlem loved him back. This BREAD PUDDING throws a punch of sweet goodness and is truly a winner!!!
