Bread and Sauternes pudding with cinnamon and apple caramel

Bread and Sauternes pudding with cinnamon and apple caramel

This pudding has no butter in it but otherwise it’s very similar to bread and butter pudding. Serve the pudding with a glass of Sauternes for good measure.

Serves 6

Cooking Time Prep time 30 mins, cook 40 mins (plus soaking, cooling, chilling)



5   eggs
400 ml   pouring cream
300 ml   milk
50 gm   caster sugar
80 ml   Sauternes
210 gm   crustless day-old pain au raisin, cut into 2½cm cubes
For greasing:   butter
For dusting:   ground cinnamon
For dusting:   demerara sugar
To serve:   vanilla ice-cream
Apple caramel
120 gm   caster sugar
80 ml (1/3 cup)   clear apple juice


1 Whisk eggs, cream, milk, caster sugar and Sauternes in a bowl to combine, set aside.
2 Preheat oven to 180C. Scatter bread in a buttered 1-litre ovenproof dish. Pour cream mixture evenly over bread and stand until bread has completely absorbed cream (20-30 minutes). Dust with cinnamon and demerara sugar, then bake until golden and custard is set (30-40 minutes).
3 Meanwhile, for apple caramel, combine sugar and 80ml water in a saucepan over medium-high heat, stir until sugar dissolves, brushing down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush (1-2 minutes), then cook until caramel (10-12 minutes). Add apple juice (be careful as mixture will spit), then stir until dissolved (1-2 minutes). Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.
4 Serve pudding hot or at room temperature with apple caramel and vanilla ice-cream.
