Ingredients

Banana bread pudding base

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 and one-third cups milk
  • ½ tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 6 egg yolks
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup granulated sugar 

Bread pudding

  • 2 ripe bananas, puréed
  • 4 cups banana bread pudding base
  • 8 cups bread, cut in 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup chocolate chunks

Directions

BANANA BREAD PUDDING BASE

Place cream and milk in saucepan with the vanilla extract or a vanilla bean (split and scraped) and bring to a simmer. Then whisk together the sugar, salt, and egg yolk; temper the cream and milk into the egg-and-sugar mixture. Strain and cool.

BREAD PUDDING

Just before baking, purée the ripe bananas and combine with the banana bread pudding base. In a 9x9-inch baking dish, spread half the bread cubes. Sprinkle with the chocolate; then cover with the remaining bread. Add the pudding mix and "soak" the bread for 10 minutes, pressing the bread occasionally to make sure that the custard has evenly and thoroughly soaked all the bread. Cover with foil and bake in a water bath at 375 degrees for 1 hour, 30 minutes.
