Instructions

Vanilla Sauce

  1. Beat egg and sugar in a small bowl, then set aside.
  2. Bring cream and 3/4 cup of milk to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Slowly add 1/3 of the simmering cream mixture to the eggs, whisking constantly to temper the eggs. Carefully pour back into the saucepan.
  3. Whisk cornstarch and the remaining 1/4 cup of milk together in a small bowl. Add to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and add vanilla extract.
  4. Place a mesh strainer over a bowl. Pour sauce through the strainer and cool to room temperature.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for up to 7 days.

  1. Tear or chop pretzel bread into large pieces. Place in a food processor and pulse until coarse crumbs form.
  2. Whisk milk, heavy cream, sugar, eggs, vanilla paste, baking powder, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Add pretzel bread pieces. Cover and refrigerate for 4-12 hours.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray 15 1/2 cup ramekins or muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray. Add 1/3 cup pretzel bread pudding mixture into each ramekin or muffin tin. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until centers of pretzel bread puddings are firm.
  4. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from the molds.
