Toaster Oven Recipe
This delicious dessert recipe brings the taste of the holidays home—made fast and easy with a Black & Decker Countertop Convection Oven, such as the TO1640B.
6 cups cubed day old Cuban bread*
6 tbsp. melted butter or margarine
4 cups whole milk
4 large eggs
4 tsp. vanilla extract
¾ cup canned pumpkin
½ cup sugar
2 tbsp. finely chopped candied ginger
2 tbsp. grated orange peel
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 pkg. (3 oz.) cook and serve pudding mix
½ cup fresh orange juice
In a large bowl, toss together bread cubes and butter. Spread evenly in a 2-quart shallow clear glass baking dish. In a bowl, whisk together 2 cups milk with eggs, 2 tsp. vanilla extract, pumpkin, sugar, candied ginger, 1 tbsp. grated orange peel and cinnamon. Pour mixture over bread cubes, coating all.
Bake in a preheated Black & Decker toaster oven at 350ºF for 30 minutes, until custard is set.
Meanwhile to prepare the sauce, in a medium saucepan, combine pudding mix, remaining 2 cups milk, ½ cup orange juice, remaining 1 tbsp. grated orange peel and 2 tsp. vanilla extract. Cook, stirring, until the mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat and pour into a serving dish or pitcher. Place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the sauce until ready to serve.
Serve pudding and sauce warm or chilled.
Makes 6 servings.
*Any day-old crusty bread may be substituted, but the pudding may be slightly heavier and drier.
