Condé Nast Cafeterias Raspberry Pudding Recipes

CHOCOLATE PUDDING WITH RASPBERRY CREAM

Steps:

• Add the milk and egg yolk to a measuring cup. Whisk to combine.
• Add 5 tablespoons sugar, the cocoa powder, cornstarch and salt to a medium saucepan, and whisk to combine, breaking up any lumps. Whisk the milk and egg yolk mixture into the sugar mixture until smooth.
• Set the pan over medium-low heat and cook the mixture until it thickens and starts to bubble, stirring the mixture constantly with a rubber spatula and making sure to scrape the corners and bottom of the pan. Once it bubbles, cook for an additional minute until thick and creamy, taking extra care to scrape the bottom and sides of the pan to avoid scorching the mixture, 6 to 8 minutes total. If you do get a few small lumps, whisk the mixture vigorously for a few seconds to smooth them. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
• Spoon the pudding into two small serving bowls or glasses, and press a piece of plastic wrap on the surface of each pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Chill for at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.
• When you are ready to serve the pudding, make the raspberry cream: Combine 1/2 teaspoon sugar with about 4 raspberries in a small bowl. Mash them together with a fork and macerate. In a medium bowl, whisk the cream with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla to medium peaks. Dollop the mashed raspberries over the top of the whipped cream and fold a few times. (The mixture should be streaky.)
• Top the pudding with the remaining raspberries and a dollop of the whipped cream. Serve immediately.

WARM CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY PUDDING CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. and generously butter a 9- by 2-inch round cake pan.
• Make frosting:
• Chop chocolate. In a small heavy saucepan bring jam, cream, and chocolate to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Pour frosting into cake pan.
• Make cake batter:
• In a bowl whisk together boiling water and cocoa powder until smooth and whisk in milk, vanilla, and jam. In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat together butter and sugars until light and fluffy and add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Into another bowl sift together flour, baking soda, and salt and add to egg mixture in batches alternately with cocoa mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture and beating well after each addition.
• Pour batter evenly over frosting mixture and bake in middle of oven 30 to 35 minutes, or until a tester inserted into cake comes out clean (frosting on bottom will still be liquid). Cool cake slightly in pan on a rack, 10 to 20 minutes. Cake may be made 1 day ahead, cooled completely in pan and left in pan, covered, at room temperature. Reheat cake, uncovered, at 350°F. 10 to 15 minutes.
• Run a thin knife around edge of pan and twist pan gently back and forth on a flat surface to loosen cake. Invert a cake plate with a slight lip over cake pan and, holding pan and plate together with both hands, invert cake onto plate. Frosting will cover cake and run onto plate.
• Serve cake garnished with raspberries.

• Pour the batter over the berries. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out without batter on it, about 40 minutes. (Be careful not to overbake.) Serve warm, so that the center melts a bit when you cut the pudding.

PANNA COTTA PARFAITS WITH RASPBERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• Place water in very small saucepan; sprinkle gelatin over. Let stand until gelatin softens, about 10 minutes. Combine 1/2 cup cream and 1/2 cup sugar in medium saucepan. Stir over low heat until sugar dissolves. Pour into large bowl. Whisk in 1 1/2 cups cream, then sour cream and vanilla just until mixed. Stir gelatin mixture over very low heat until gelatin dissolves; whisk into cream mixture. Place 1 berry in each of 6 Champagne flutes. Add cream mixture, dividing evenly.

LEMON & RASPBERRY DOUGHNUT PUDDING

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and butter a 20 x 20cm baking dish. Quarter the raspberry jam doughnuts and arrange in overlapping layers in the prepared dish. Scatter over 100g raspberries.
• Heat the custard with the milk until steaming, then whisk through the lemon curd. Pour the lemon custard over the doughnuts, then leave to soak for 30 mins, ensuring some of the doughnuts stick out so they'll crisp up when baked.
• Scatter over another 50g raspberries and bake for 35-40 mins, or until golden brown and just set.

COCONUT-CARDAMOM FRENCH TOAST WITH RASPBERRY-RHUBARB COMPOTE

Steps:

• Compote
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Gently combine rhubarb and raspberries in a shallow baking dish that will hold them snugly. Scatter sugar over and add cardamom. Scrape seeds from vanilla bean into a small bowl and set aside for making the French toast. Add vanilla pod to dish. Cover with foil and bake fruit 15 minutes. Carefully remove foil, stir gently, and roast, uncovered, until fruit is beginning to collapse but is still bright pink, about 10 minutes more. Remove baking dish from oven; pluck out cardamom pods and vanilla pod and discard. Let cool (juices will thicken as compote cools). Do ahead: Compote can be made 3 days ahead. Transfer to an airtight container; cover and chill.
• Filling
• Bring cream, coconut, sugar, and salt to a boil in a medium heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring. Cook, stirring often, until thickened to a paste and pale yellow (sound should turn from bubbling to a faint sizzle and there should be very little liquid remaining), 6-8 minutes. Scrape into a bowl and let cool. Do ahead: Filling can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill.
• French toast and assembly
• Reduce oven temperature to 200°F. Pour sugar evenly into a shallow baking dish large enough to accommodate 4 slices of bread. Using your fingers or a spoon, press pods and seeds into sugar, then scrape in reserved vanilla bean seeds and work into sugar. Add milk. (For the fullest flavor, combine spiced sugar and milk in a heatproof jug or bowl and microwave until steaming, 30-60 seconds. Let sit 5 minutes to infuse, then pour back into dish.) Whisk in eggs, cream, almond extract, rose water, and salt.
• Divide coconut filling among 4 slices of bread (about 3 Tbsp. each). Spread in an even layer, leaving a thin border at edges. Top with a second slice of bread to form sandwiches. Lay sandwiches in custard and let soak 2 minutes. Gently turn over and let sit while you heat the pan.
• Melt enough butter or pour in oil to thinly coat a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook 2 sandwiches until evenly golden, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer French toast to a baking sheet and keep warm in oven. Repeat with remaining 2 sandwiches.
• Bake French toast 5 minutes. Remove from oven and transfer to plates. Top with raspberry-rhubarb compote, maple syrup, and other toppings as desired.
