Panettone Bread Pudding

1 loaf panettone (32 to 35 ounces), cut into 1-inch cubes
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups whole milk…..

SUBSTITUTION: Milk, Whole

1/2 cup evaporated milk plus 1/2 cup water

OR 1 cup water plus 1/3 cup nonfat evaporated dry milk powder

OR 1 cup skim milk plus 2 teaspoons melted butter can be substituted for 1 cup whole milk.

NOTE: Whole milk is higher in total fat than low-fat milk.


If a baking recipe calls for whole milk, you may be able to substitute a low-fat milk variety like skim, 1% or 2% fat.


Be cautious about substituting skim milk in pudding, custard and sauce recipes.


These recipes rely on the dairy fat for added texture and flavor.


Baked items such as cakes and cookies can usually tolerate the use of low-fat milk.

4 whole eggs
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Butter for the baking dish

Heat oven to 325° F.

Place the panettone in a large bowl.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream, milk, eggs, yolks, sugar, zest, and vanilla.

Pour over the bread cubes. Let soak for 5 minutes, stirring gently 2 or 3 times.

Pour the mixture into a buttered 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes.

Serve warm.


*** Tip: Panettone (a light, sweet Italian bread made with nuts and candied fruit)

is available at most grocery stores during the holiday season.

Or use challah or brioche instead and sprinkle in a handful of raisins.

Yield: Makes 10 to 12 servings
