1 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar, plus more for the baking dish
2 cups milk
2 cups heavy cream
1 pound brioche, crusts trimmed, bread cut into 3-inch chunks
2 sticks ( 1/2 pound) unsalted butter, softened

1
Preheat the oven to 350.
2
Butter a 4-quart glass or ceramic baking dish and coat with sugar, tapping out any excess.
3
In a saucepan, combine the milk with the cream and bring just to a simmer.
4
Put the brioche in a large bowl, pour the milk evenly over it and let stand until nearly absorbed, stirring once or twice.
5
In a medium bowl, beat the butter until creamy.
6
Add 1 cup of the sugar; beat until fluffy.
7
Beat in the egg yolks, 1 at a time.
8
Fold the mixture into the soaked brioche, then stir in the bananas.
9
In a clean bowl, whip the egg whites to soft peaks.
10
Gradually add 2 tablespoons of the sugar and beat until the whites are stiff and glossy, about 2 minutes.
11
Fold the whites into the pudding.
12
Transfer the pudding to the prepared baking dish; smooth the surface.
13
Dollop spoonfuls of the fudge sauce over the top and swirl it into the pudding.
14
Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar.
15
Set the baking dish in a large roasting pan and add enough hot water to reach two-thirds of the way up the side.
16
Bake for 1 hour, or until the pudding is set and the top is brown.
17
Cool the pudding slightly in the water.
18
Transfer to a rack to cool for 15 minutes.
19
Serve with fudge and butterscotch sauce.
