BREAD PUDDING WITH SOUTHERN BOURBON SAUCE

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups stale French bread, cut in 3/4-inch cubes
2 cups milk
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
4 tablespoons butter, melted and slightly cooled
1/2 cup sultana raisins
2 egg yolks
1 stick butter, not margarine
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup bourbon whiskey, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place stale bread in a bowl with milk and squeeze the bread with your hand until well saturated with milk.
  • With an electric mixer on high speed in a separate bowl, beat eggs with sugar until thick and pale. Stir in the vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, butter and raisins to the egg mixture. Add the soaked bread crumbs to the egg mixture and stir well. Let stand for 10 minutes. It is important to allow enough time for the bread to absorb the egg mixture or the bread crumbs will float to the top during baking, leaving a layer of custard on the bottom of the dish.
  • Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. Bake until firm, or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 45 to 50 minutes. Let it slightly cool in the dish.
  • Meanwhile, near the end of the baking time, make the sauce. With an electric mixer, beat egg yolks until thick and pale. In a saucepan, melt the butter and sugar. Pour the butter and sugar mixture over the egg yolks, beating constantly with the mixer, until well thickened. Stir in bourbon by hand. Serve the pudding warm with vanilla ice cream if desired. Pass the hot bourbon sauce separately.

BOURBON BREAD PUDDING

Provided by Pat Neely

Categories     Bourbon     Milk/Cream     Egg     Dessert     Bake     New Year's Eve     Winter     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Serves 10

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons butter, plus more for greasing
10 cups cubed brioche bread (from a 1-pound loaf)
1 cup chopped pecans
4 cups half-and-half
1 cup whole milk
5 eggs, beaten
1 cup packed dark-brown sugar
3 tablespoons bourbon
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • Butter a 13 by 9-inch baking dish, and put the cubed brioche in it. Sprinkle with the pecans.
  • Whisk together the half-and-half, milk, eggs, butter, brown sugar, bourbon, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg in a large bowl.
  • Pour the custard mixture over the bread in the baking dish, giving the bread a stir to make sure it's coated. Let the pudding sit for 1 hour, so the bread can fully absorb the milk.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Once it is ready, put the dish in the oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until puffy and set. Remove, and let stand 10 minutes before serving. This is absolutely lovely when served with some fresh whipped cream.

Tips:

  • Use stale bread for a firmer texture. If you don't have stale bread, you can toast fresh bread in the oven or air fryer until it is dry and slightly crispy.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bread pudding tough.
  • Bake the bread pudding until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve the bread pudding warm with a drizzle of bourbon sauce.

Conclusion:

Bread pudding cups with bourbon sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. They are perfect for a special occasion or a simple weeknight treat. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dessert that will impress your friends and family.
