BREAD PUDDING WITH BOURBON PECAN SAUCE



Bread Pudding with Bourbon Pecan Sauce image

I found this recipe online, and then tweaked it a bit. Some by choice, some by accident and some due to necessary substitution. I wrote a poem (100% true) about the first time I made this. However it is too long to post here, so I'll put it in the comment section, in parts! No idea on the nutritional content. Suffice it to...

Categories     Puddings

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 18

BOURBON PECAN SAUCE
1/2 c butter, melted (1 stick)
1 c sugar
1 egg
1/2 c water
1/2 c bourbon or moonshine
1/2 c pecans, in pieces, toasted
BREAD PUDDING
6-7 c rolls or french bread, at least 2 days old, i prefer egg rolls, torn into 1-inch square pieces
1 qt heavy cream
3 eggs, beaten
2 c sugar
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 c golden raisins
1/2 c coconut
1/4 tsp allspice, ground
1/4 tsp cinnamon
butter for greasing dish/pan

Steps:

  • 1. Bourbon Pecan Sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter; add sugar, water and egg, whisking to blend well.
  • 2. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. (Do not allow to simmer, or it may curdle.)
  • 3. Whisk in moonshine or bourbon to taste. Remove from heat and add toasted pecans. Whisk before serving.
  • 4. The sauce should be soft, creamy, and smooth. I like the sauce warm but not hot.
  • 5. Bread Pudding: Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • 6. Soak the bread in the heavy cream in a large mixing bowl. Stir with hands until well mixed and all the cream is absorbed. If you think the mixture looks too dry, add a few tablespoons more of the heavy cream or milk.
  • 7. In a separate bowl, beat eggs, sugar, vanilla, and spices together. Gently stir into the bread mixture.
  • 8. Gently stir the raisins and coconut into the mixture.
  • 9. Grease bottom and sides of a 9x13 inch baking dish/pan with butter. Pour in the bread mix and bake at 350°F for 35-45 minutes, until set. The pudding is done when the edges start getting a bit brown and pull away from the edge of the pan. Can also make in individual ramekins.
  • 10. Serve with bourbon pecan sauce on the side; pour on to taste. Best fresh and eaten the day it is made.

TOASTED PECAN BREAD PUDDING & BOURBON SAUCE



TOASTED PECAN BREAD PUDDING & BOURBON SAUCE image

I first made a version of this recipe 10 years ago, but made it plain & without the sauce. Now after making this version as I have listed, I realize that the plain version just did not do the recipe justice. This version is SO much better. The toasted pecans really does enhance the nutty flavor in the recipe, the bourbon sauce...

Provided by Rose Mary Mogan

Categories     Sweet Breads

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 21

8 c stale bread, cubed & toasted
1 1/2 c pecans, toasted & chopped, divided
1/2 stick butter, melted
1 Tbsp vanilla bean extract
11/2 tsp cinnamon
5 large eggs, room temperature
1 c heavy whipping cream
1 c milk, i used 2%
1/2 c raisins +1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 c firmly packed brown sugar
PECAN TOPPING
1/2 c toasted pecans, reserved from above
1/3 c firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
BOURBON SAUCE
1/2 stick butter
1/2 c firmly packed brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp corn starch
1/3 c heavy whipping cream
1 tsp mexican vanilla, or vanilla extract
2 Tbsp bourbon or rum, if desired

Steps:

  • 1. Chop pecans, if not already chopped, then toast in preheated 350 degree oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Then set aside till needed. May toast bread in same oven at same time, but may require additional extra time till fully toasted. Stir after the first 15 minutes, and adjust time as needed.
  • 2. These are the main ingredients. I didn't have all raisins, so I used dried cranberries & raisins. The original recipe suggested golden raisins. The Mexican Vanilla is a gift from Phyllis Lively here at Just A Pinch. I love it's strong aromatic sweet flavor.
  • 3. Using a large bowl add one cup of toasted pecans, (RESERVING THE REMAINDER FOR THE TOPPING)cinnamon, Mexican Vanilla, brown sugar & melted butter. Stir to mix together.
  • 4. Then add in the eggs and beat till well blended together.
  • 5. Add in the toasted bread cubes, and stir to mix together. Allow to sit about 15 to 20 minutes, or longer if needed to absorb the liquid.
  • 6. Spray an 8 X8 size , I used a 9X9 size pan, then pour batter into pan and bake in preheated 350 degree oven about 25 to 30 minutes. Should look like this.
  • 7. While Pudding is baking, assemble the topping by combining the 1/2 cup reserved toasted pecans, brown sugar and cinnamon, stir till blended together.
  • 8. Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture over the bread pudding & return to the oven for an additional 10 to 15 minutes or until the pudding is set and the topping is browed. Remove from oven.
  • 9. Prepare the bourbon sauce by adding the butter to a small sauce pan along with the firmly packed browned sugar & corn starch, whisk as butter begins to melt & sugar dissolves over low heat, and mixture slowly comes to boil, then pour in the heavy whipping cream and whisk together till blended abut 2 minutes. Add the bourbon & cook for about 1/2 minute. Remove from heat and add in the Mexican vanilla & whisk until thoroughly blended. Allow sauce to cool slightly before serving.
  • 10. This is what the bread pudding looked like when baked with brown sugar topping. Note: I omitted the bourbon because of the strong flavor of the Mexican Vanilla

Categories     Desserts     Specialty Dessert Recipes     Bread Pudding Recipes

Time 1h50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 19

6 cups cubed day-old French bread
2 medium apples - peeled, cored, and chopped
½ cup dark raisins
4 large eggs
1 cup light brown sugar
1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground allspice
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon salt
3 cups whole milk
1 cup apple cider
1 cup chopped pecans
2 cups light brown sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup butter
¼ cup bourbon
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Provided by Alan in SW Florida

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h55m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 cup pecans, toasted and chopped (See Note)
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
5 large eggs
2 cups milk
1 cup golden raisin
12 slices stale firm-textured white bread, cut into cubes (about 6 cups)
1/2 cup pecans, toasted and chopped (See Note)
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons Bourbon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan.
  • MAKE THE PUDDING: In a small bowl, combine the pecans, sugar, butter, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In a large bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the pecan mixture and blend well. Stir in the milk and raisins.
  • Place the bread cubes in the prepared pan. Pour the egg mixture over them and toss gently until the bread is soaked. Let the pudding sit until the bread has absorbed nearly all the liquid, about 35 minutes. Stir the mixture once or twice to moisten the bread evenly.
  • Meanwhile, MAKE THE TOPPING: In a small bowl, combine the pecans, sugar, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  • Bake the pudding for 25 minutes. Sprinkle the pecan topping over the pudding and continue baking for another 10 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the topping is browned.
  • Meanwhile, MAKE THE BOURBON SAUCE: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the sugar and cornstarch, and cook, stirring, until dissolved. Whisk in the cream and vanilla, and continue cooking, stirring, until sauce thickens slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the bourbon and cook, stirring, for another 30 seconds. Remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool slightly.
  • To serve, spoon the pudding out on plates, then ladle a bit of the bourbon sauce over each serving.
  • NOTE: To toast the pecans, place them on an ungreased cookie sheet in a preheated 375 degree oven for 10 minutes, or until golden.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bread: Use a sturdy bread that can hold up to the custard, such as French bread, challah, or brioche.
  • Don't oversoak the bread: The bread should be just slightly moistened, not soggy.
  • Use a variety of spices: Bread pudding is a great opportunity to experiment with different spices, such as nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla.
  • Don't overcook the bread pudding: It should be cooked until the center is just set, but not dry.
  • Serve the bread pudding warm: It's best enjoyed when it's fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Bread pudding is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be made with a variety of ingredients. It's a great way to use up leftover bread, and it's also a fun and easy dessert to make with kids.
