Best Baked Waffle Pudding Recipes

LEFTOVER WAFFLE BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Lightly grease a 9x9 cake pan, or a 9" round pan, or a loaf pan. If you're using whole waffles put the first layer in the pan. For torn up waffles, toss them into the pan and try to somewhat level them out.
• In a bowl, whisk the lukewarm milk, butter, eggs, first amount of sugar and vanilla together until eggs are fully incorporated. Pour over the waffles - if you're using torn up waffles, give the whole thing a good stir. For whole waffles, pour some of the mixture over the first layer, then alternate layers of waffles and egg mix until it's all used up. Sprinkle the top of the waffle mixture with the second amount of brown sugar, then glob some jam or jelly randomly around the top.
• Bake at 350* for about 45 minutes to an hour, until the center is set and the top is starting to brown. Serve either hot or cold.

SUNNY'S FUNKY MONKEY WAFFLE PUDDING

Steps:

• Butter the bottom and sides of an 8-by-8-inch baking dish. Arrange the waffle wedges standing up in rows, alternating every other piece so the curved side faces the opposite direction to create an organized but random top with curved peaks.
• In a blender, add the chocolate milk, peanut butter, brown sugar and bananas. Add a pinch of salt and blend to taste; it should not be salty, just taste like a hint of salt. Add the egg and blend until smooth.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Slowly pour the custard over the prepared dish of waffle wedges and let rest 10 to 15 minutes to allow it to soak into the waffles. The waffles will crest above the custard line; gently press down to encourage absorption.
• Bake until the tops are golden and the custard feels set, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Remove and sprinkle the marshmallows, chips and bacon over the top. Put back in the oven and bake until the chocolate is shiny and the marshmallows soften, 5 to 10 minutes more. Serve with warm maple syrup.

BREAD PUDDING USING LEFT OVER WAFFLES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• 2. Lightly grease a 9x9 cake pan, or a 9" round pan, or a loaf pan. Cube or tear up waffles, toss them into the pan and try to somewhat level them out.
• 3. In a bowl, whisk the lukewarm milk, butter, eggs, sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla together until eggs are fully incorporated. Pour over the waffles - give the whole thing a good stir. COMMENT: The mixture should be almost submerged in liquid.
• 4. Bake at 350* for about 45 minutes to an hour, until the center is set and the top is starting to brown. Serve either hot or cold
• 5. Cognac or Rum topping: (Omit alcohol if serving to children) Use 1/2 cup of syrup (more or less, it's up to you) & 1/4 cup of cognac or rum (more or less, it's up to you). Mix together.
• 6. Using a knife, deeply pierce the hot bread pudding (right out of the oven) all over.
• 7. Pour topping over the complete pudding while it's still hot (very important).
• 8. Eat hot with vanilla ice cream, cream or whipped cream. Eat cold with whipped cream. Bon Appetit!

WAFFLE BERRY PUDDING

• Combine sugar and flour in a bowl. Add sour cream, eggs and vanilla essence. Whisk and spoon evenly over top of raspberries

CHOCOLATE & SALTED CARAMEL WAFFLE BREAD & BUTTER PUDDING

Steps:

• Fill a large pan with a few centimetres of water and set over a medium heat. Set a large heatproof bowl over the pan - it should sit on top without touching the water. Break the chocolate into the bowl, then tip in the cream, milk, butter, caster sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. Reduce the heat to low, and stir the mixture until everything has melted together and is glossy. Remove from the heat and leave to cool slightly.
• Spread the caramel over the base of a baking dish (ours was 30 x 22cm), then sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt. Cut the waffles in half diagonally, then arrange over the caramel in overlapping rows.
• Pour the egg yolks into the warm chocolate mixture, mixing well as you do until all of the egg is fully incorporated. Carefully pour the chocolate custard over the waffles, ensuring they're fully covered. Leave to soak for at least 1 hr, or cover and chill overnight.
• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and uncover the dish if it has been chilled. Bake the pudding for 30 mins until the custard is set with a slight wobble in the centre. Leave to stand for 5 mins, then dust lightly with icing sugar, if you like, and scoop into bowls to serve.
