Warm Mascarpone Bread Pudding - Italian

Recipe By :"La Cucina Italiana"
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
8 ounces mascarpone cheese -- softened
3 egg yolks
2 tablespoons Maraschino liqueur -- divided
zest of 1 lemon
To grease: -- unsalted butter and sugar (for ramekins)
12 slices brioche bread
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon apricot jam
To garnish: -- Confectioners' sugar for dusting
1/2 cup dried apricots -- diced

Preheat oven to 400°.

Cream half of the mascarpone with the egg yolks, 1 tablespoon Maraschino liqueur and the lemon zest.

Generously butter six 3-inch ramekins, sprinkle with sugar, and tap out the excess. Place a round of buttered parchment paper in the bottom.

Cut 12 disks of brioche bread the same size as the ramekins, and moisten with the cream. Place 1 round of brioche in each ramekin, and spread the mascarpone-egg mixture on top of the bread. Top each ramekin with a layer of brioche. Bake for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, place the remaining half of the mascarpone in a bowl, and thin to a sauce consistency with the milk and the remaining 1 tablespoon Maraschino Liqueur. Mix in the jam, then spoon equal amounts of the sauce onto individual plates dusted with confectioners' sugar.

While still warm, unmold the puddings onto the plate and garnish with the dried apricots.

Enjoy the bold structure of a Malvasia delle Lipari from the islands off Sicily. Its dried apricot flavors make it the perfect wine to pair with this dessert.
