Ingredients

Brioche Bread Pudding:

Butter, room temperature
4 eggs
3/4 cup whole milk
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 cup sugar, plus more for dusting and topping
4 large slices brioche bread
2 cups mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries), plus more for garnish

Lemon Fondant:

2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons water
2 lemons, zested and juiced

Directions

Butter and sugar 6 (6-ounce) ramekins.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and sugar. Combine well with a whisk - then let it settle so there are no air bubbles on the surface otherwise these will cause lumps in your anglaise.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Tear the brioche up into large pieces using your hands, add to the custard mixture and toss to combine. Equally divide the berries among the ramekins and top with the bread mixture. Gently press down so they are packed evenly. Sprinkle with more sugar, then refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes to let soak.

Bake for 25 minutes in the center of the oven. The pudding is ready when it has puffed up and the custard is set. The top should be a nice golden color. Remove and allow to cool slightly.

Make the fondant. In a mixing bowl combine sifted powdered sugar, water, lemon zest and juice.

Once the pudding has cooled slightly, invert onto an individual serving plate. Drizzle the lemon fondant over warm bread pudding and serve with extra fresh berries.

I made this for the first time yesterday and my husband and I absolutely LOVED it! It was so good that I told my friends at... work about it today and all made me promise to bring them the recipe, which I will do. When you fix something this good, you want to share it with everone you know so they can enjoy it, too!

Outstanding Bread Pudding
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this today after watching Tyler make it on Tuesday and it is outstanding. I am a fan of Tyler's and he did not... disappoint on this one. I did bake it for 30 minutes but that may be because of differences in ovens. I gave one to each of my neighbors and they thought it was outstanding as well. One said, "Have I died and gone to heaven?" Both thought they would eat have of one but said they could not stop and ended up and ate the entire serving. Great job Tyler.Read more

Decadent, SO EASY and great for a group!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for brunch today and it was amazing. I didn't have ramekins but made it in a nice ceramic casserole dish. I... doubled the recipe and made the following changes: less one egg, used 1% milk instead of whole, but did not double sauce (and even have a little left over). Everything else the same. NOTE: This cooks for closer to an hour in a casserole dish so plan for that - and it definitely "pops" so you know when its done. Everyone loved it! I will definitely make it again and possibly even try it for dessert with ice cream.Read more

Nothing short of Devine.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was so easy and so delicious, I made 3 long distance phone calls to share this before the night was over. Be sure you... save the fresh berries for on top because the color out of the ramikins is not beautiful but once you top them with the sauce your eyes are as please as your mouth is when you tast it. I dreamed of other things to use the lemon fondant on. Definately a do over, and over and over. Read more
