Chicken Farm Baker's Project # 41 : Makeover Bread Pudding, Crêpe Suzette Bread pudding

 

 Due to the flood, Chicken Farm Baker's Project was out of service for 2 months, ^^, but now when everything back to almost normal (hehe) here we are again.

Crêpe Suzette Bread pudding 

 This month, Bon (host of the project) wanted to play with something simple, like bread pudding!!! The point is to make this dessert more special, ^^ .
When I know that we have to make the bread pudding, I think about many flavor that I want to put into it. Finally I realize that all I want from this dessert is to make it fresher, not weighting you down after eating. So, I choose to use orange as the key ingredient in my bread pudding, and when I think about orange I can't help but think about Crêpe Suzette too.  
I always want to make Crêpe Suzette but still didn't make it, haha, why? I don't know. So instead of making the original Crêpe Suzette I make "Crêpe Suzette Bread pudding". I serve it with vanilla ice cream, to make it more balance (first, I think about orange sorbet, but I think it will be too much). 
My sister (my tester, ^^), told me that she really love the sauce, and I like it too, the flavor of orange and caramel are more delicious when they come together and the richness from the butter, oh!, I think you must try.

Pour the bread pudding mixture into the pan, and bake for 30-40 minutes or until the top of the bread pudding is golden brown.

Make Crêpe Suzette sauce:
Warm the orange juice (you can use microwave, put the cup in the microwave and heat for 40seconds to 1 minutes).
Put the sugar in medium saucepan, place the pan over medium heat, cook until the sugar begins to melt and caramelize, pour the warm orange juice into the pan stir to combine (the caramel will boil up and may splatter out of the pan, be careful). Turn of the heat and stir in the butter.
