How to Make Fig And Raisin Bread Pudding

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup chopped fresh figs, ½ cup raisins, and 2 tablespoons brandy. Let stand for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously butter an 8-cup soufflé or casserole dish with straight sides.
  3. Spread 2 tablespoons of melted butter on 6-8 slices of day-old bread. Cut bread into 1-inch cubes and transfer to the prepared dish.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together ½ cup granulated sugar, 4 large eggs, and 1 large egg yolk until light and frothy.
  5. Whisk in 1 cup heavy cream, 1 cup whole milk, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Gently fold in the fig and raisin mixture into the custard base, ensuring all bread cubes are coated.
  7. Let the bread pudding sit for 5 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
  8. Place the dish in a larger baking pan. Pour enough hot water into the larger pan to come 1 inch up the sides of the dish (this creates a bain-marie for even baking).
  9. Bake for 1 hour and 35 minutes, or until the custard is set in the center and a knife inserted comes out clean. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired. Makes 8 servings.
