Ingredients
  • For the bread pudding:
  • 4 cups milk
  • 1 1⁄2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • Grated zest of 2 oranges
  • 12 cups cubed bread (1/4-inch cubes)
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 2 eggs
  • For the sauce:
  • 2 cups freshly squeezed blood orange juice or regular orange juice
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • For the garnish:
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped
  • 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar

Directions
  1. To make the pudding, heat the milk, sugar, cinnamon stick, and orange zest in a medium saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Let cool, cover, and refrigerate overnight to steep.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Put the bread cubes in a large bowl. Reheat the milk mixture and remove the cinnamon stick. In a large bowl, lightly whisk together the yolks and eggs. Pour the milk mixture into the eggs and mix thoroughly. Pour this mixture over the bread and allow to soak for a few minutes.
  3. Butter the insides of eight 5-ounce ramekins. Divide the mixture among the ramekins and place them in a roasting pan or on a large, deep sheet pan. Pour about 1 inch of water into the pan to create a water bath. Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 1/4 hours.
  4. To make the sauce, bring orange juice to a simmer over medium-high heat in a medium saucepan, then reduce to 1/4 cup, about 10 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve into a bowl, add cream, and set aside. In another saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add sugar and continue to cook, stirring frequently until sugar is lightly caramelized, about 3 minutes. Add the orange juice mixture, stirring constantly. Simmer for 5 minutes and strain through a fine sieve.
  5. Serve the pudding warm, either turned out onto individual plates or left inside the ramekins. Top with the sauce, a dollop of whipped cream, and a dusting of powdered sugar
