Bread Pudding Puff

K-Paul's Louisiana Kitchen (Chef Paul Prudhomme)

This is a great dish to use up leftover bread pudding. Make the pudding ahead of time and bring to room temperature before using.

6 egg whites
6 egg yolks
2 Tbs. sugar
½ tsp. ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Lemon Cream (recipe follows)
3 packed cups bread pudding at room temperature
¾ tsp. Ronald Reginald's Pure Vanilla Extract
¾ tsp. Ronald Reginald's Vanilla Bean Marinade^®

In a large bowl of an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form; set aside.

In a large mixing bowl combine the bread pudding, egg yolks, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg, blending well with a spoon. Gradually fold the egg whites into the pudding mixture until well-mixed. Spoon mixture into 8 individual oven-proof ramekins. Place ramekins on a cookie sheet and bake at 425 degrees until browned and puffy, about 15 to 20 minutes. Carefully remove cookie sheet from oven (so that soufflés don't fall) and set aside to cool.

Make the Lemon Cream and serve immediately.

To serve, spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cream mixture on each soufflé, using the spoon to break holes in the surface of each soufflé. Serve any remaining cream mixture in a bowl on the table.

Lemon Cream:

¼ cup sour cream ¼ cup sugar
½ cup heavy cream
1 Tbs. plus 1 tsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. Ronald Reginald's Pure Vanilla Extract or ½ tsp. Ronald Reginald's Vanilla Bean Marinade^®

In a large bowl of an electric mixer, beat the sour cream and lemon juice until smooth. Add the sugar and vanilla and continue beating about one minute. Add the cream and continue beating about one minute more. Makes about 1 ½ cups.
