My family LOVES bread pudding, and this recipe is one that I have fine tuned to their taste. It's great for breakfast or dessert and is delicious with milk poured on top! Enjoy!
Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce
Ingredients:
Bread pudding:
- 8-10 cups of day-old bread, croissants, or cinnamon rolls
- 1 cup dried fruit
- 3 eggs
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 cups milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Whiskey sauce:
- 1 cup butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup whiskey
- ¼ cup water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 eggs
Instructions:
To make the bread pudding, first preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 × 13-inch baking dish.
Cut the bread into small cubes and put the cubes into the prepared dish. Scatter the raisins evenly along the top.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon until frothy and well-combined.
Pour the liquid carefully over the bread and mash everything together. Let this sit for at least an hour, mashing it a few more times so that all of the bread absorbs as much liquid as possible.
Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until you see no liquid when you press the bread in the middle of the pan.
To make the whiskey sauce, first melt the butter in a saucepan.
Add the sugar, whiskey, water, salt, and nutmeg, and cook this mixture until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes.
Beat the eggs in a bowl and then slowly add a bit of the hot whiskey mixture, whisking as you go.
Once tempered, add the egg mixture to the whiskey mixture and return to the heat.
When a boil is reached, cook for one minute, then remove from the heat.
To serve, cut a square of bread pudding and cover it with whiskey sauce, making sure both are warm.
