Method
Directions
Poach the Pears
Peel and core the pears, then add them to the simmering liquid. Poach for about 15-20 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat and let cool in the syrup.
Prepare the Bread Pudding Mixture
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, whisk together coconut milk, eggs, and a pinch of salt. Tear the spiced bread into pieces and add to the mixture, allowing it to soak for about 10 minutes.
Combine and Bake
Grease a baking dish, then layer in the poached pears. Pour the bread pudding mixture over the pears. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden and set.
Prepare the Pepita-Pistachio Powder
While the pudding is baking, blend the pepitas and pistachios in a food processor until finely ground. Set aside.
Serve
Once baked, allow the bread pudding to cool slightly. Serve warm, garnished with the pepita-pistachio powder.
