Nik Sharma’s Formula for a Better Chocolate Bread Pudding

Miso and coffee punch up the flavor in this superlative chocolate bread pudding.

Chocolate Miso Bread Pudding

In this rich and custardy bread pudding, the chocolate’s flavor is enhanced by the addition of coffee and savory-salty miso. Serve the pudding as a holiday dessert, or as a midday snack.

Ginger and Tamarind Refresher

While it is not uncommon to find ginger blended into limeades, lemonades, and fresh sugarcane juice in India, it also pairs nicely with tamarind. Serve cold and give it a good stir before drinking. This recipe is made with tamarind pulp, which contains large seeds that you will need to remove. Avoid the temptation to use concentrates. They’re more convenient because they don’t have seeds, but they don’t taste nearly as fresh.

Sumac and Saffron Refresher

Unlike a strongly acidic lemonade or limeade, this sumac syrup is tart but mild. The saffron and cardamom are pounded to release their color and flavors into the hot syrup.
