Provided by Diana Rattray

Categories     Dessert

Time 2h28m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 22

For the Bread Pudding:
1/4 cup raisins
2 tablespoons whiskey, or bourbon
12 ounces day-old French bread
2 cups half-and-half
1 cup whole milk
3 large eggs
1 cup light or dark brown sugar, packed
2 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated or ground nutmeg
Dash of salt
For the Whiskey Sauce:
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup white granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons whiskey, or bourbon
2 egg yolks
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract. optional

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Place the raisins and whiskey in a small saucepan and heat just until the mixture comes to a simmer. Remove from the heat and let stand for 20 to 30 minutes. Alternatively, place the raisins and whiskey in a cup and heat in the microwave oven for about 20 to 30 seconds, leaving to rest for 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Slice the bread into 1/2-inch rounds and then cut the rounds into 1/2-inch cubes; you should have about 8 cups of bread cubes.
  • In a large bowl, combine the half-and-half and whole milk with the eggs and brown sugar. Whisk until well blended. Add the vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and dash of salt.
  • Add the bread cubes and soaked raisins with their liquid to the bowl with the milk-egg mixture and stir to coat thoroughly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Stir occasionally.
  • While the mixture rests, preheat the oven to 325 F. Generously butter a 2 1/2-quart baking dish.
  • Spoon the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish, distributing the raisins as evenly as possible.
  • Bake the bread pudding in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until it is firm and golden brown. Remove the bread pudding to a rack to cool.
  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar in a medium saucepan and set aside.
  • In a small bowl or cup, whisk the cornstarch with the whiskey or bourbon.
  • In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks and set aside.
  • Place the saucepan with the cream mixture over medium heat and add the cornstarch mixture. Cook until the sauce comes to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Add about 1/2 cup of the hot mixture to the egg yolks while whisking constantly. By tempering the mixture you prevent the eggs from becoming curdled.
  • Pour the egg yolk mixture into the saucepan and cook for 1 minute longer. Whisk in a pinch of salt, the butter, and vanilla, if using.
  • Transfer the sauce to a bowl and if not serving immediately, place a sheet of plastic wrap directly on top to prevent a skin from forming. The sauce will thicken more as it stands. When ready to serve, spoon some of the warm sauce over each serving of bread pudding and enjoy.

WHISKEY BREAD PUDDING



Whiskey Bread Pudding image

Categories     dessert

Time 1h23m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

5 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
8 tablespoons butter, cut up
2 cups cream
1 (12-inch) loaf French bread, crusts removed and sliced into 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup raisins
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1 cup cream
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
5 tablespoons whiskey
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Whipped cream, optional

Steps:

  • In a bowl, whisk the eggs until well blended. Add the sugar and mix in then add the vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, butter, and cream. Lay the bread cubes in a 8 by 8 inch square baking dish, sprinkle the nuts and raisins around, and then pour the custard over the bread. Cover the dish and let it soak overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cover the dish with foil and poke holes in it. Bake until bread pudding souffled up, about 40 minutes then remove the foil, and bake another 10 minutes to brown lightly.
  • For the sauce, in a saucepan heat the cream, sugar, cinnamon, and butter together until almost boiling. Meanwhile, mix the cornstarch with the whiskey and stir it into the hot liquid. Bring just to a boil to thicken it.
  • To serve, pour a few spoonfuls of the whiskey sauce on a dessert plate. Scoop out the desired portion size of the pudding, placing it on the sauced plate. Dust the pudding with powdered sugar and finish it off with a dollop of whipped cream.
  • Notes about the recipe: This is a restaurant recipe so uses leftover bread. Save the crusts and dry them in a low oven, then grind them in a food processor to make bread crumbs.

BREAD PUDDING WITH WHISKEY SAUCE RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by southerngrace

Number Of Ingredients 16

BREAD PUDDING:
9 cups 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
1/2 cup whiskey
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
2 eggs

Steps:

  • BREAD PUDDING: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-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 to 75 minutes, or until you see no liquid when you press the bread in the middle of the pan. WHISKEY SAUCE: 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.

BREAD PUDDING SOUFFLé WITH WHISKEY SAUCE

Provided by Jamie Shannon

Categories     Bourbon     Egg     Dessert     Bake     Whiskey     Ramekin     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Bread Pudding:
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
3 medium eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (use a high-quality extract, not an imitation)
5 cups day-old French bread, cut into 1-inch cubes (see Note)
1/3 cup raisins
Whiskey Sauce:
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup bourbon
Meringue:
9 medium egg whites, at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
3/4 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
  • To make the bread pudding, combine the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Beat in the eggs until smooth, then work in the heavy cream. Add the vanilla, then the bread cubes. Allow the bread to soak up the custard. Scatter the raisins in the greased pan, and top with the egg mixture, which will prevent the raisins from burning. Bake for approximately 25 to 30 minutes or until the pudding has a golden color and is firm to the touch. If a toothpick inserted in the pudding comes out clean, it is done. It should be moist, not runny or dry. Let cool to room temperature.
  • To make the sauce, bring the cream to a boil, combine the cornstarch and water, and add the mixture to the boiling cream, stirring constantly. Return to a boil, then reduce the heat and cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds, being careful not to burn the mixture. Add the sugar and bourbon, and stir. Let cool to room temperature.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F, and butter six 6-ounce ceramic ramekins.
  • To make the meringue, be certain that you use a bowl and whisk that are clean and that the egg whites are completely free of yolk. This dish needs a good, stiff meringue, and the egg whites will whip better if the chill is off them. In a large bowl or mixer, whip the egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually add the sugar, and continue whipping until shiny and thick. Test with a clean spoon. If the whites stand up stiff, like shaving cream, when you pull out the spoon, the meringue is ready. Do not overwhip, or the whites will break down and the soufflé will not work.
  • In a large bowl, break half the bread pudding into pieces using your hands or a spoon. Gently fold in a quarter of the meringue, being careful not to lose the air in the whites. Place a portion of this mixture in each of the ramekins.
  • Place the remaining bread pudding in the bowl, break into pieces, and carefully fold in the rest of the meringue. Top off the soufflés with this lighter mixture, to about 1 1/2 inches over the top edge of the ramekin. With a spoon, smooth and shape the tops into a dome over the ramekin rim.
  • Bake immediately for approximately 20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately. Using a spoon at the table, poke a hole in the top of each soufflé and spoon the room-temperature whiskey sauce into the soufflé.
  • Note: New Orleans French bread is very light and tender. Outside New Orleans, use only a light bread. If the bread is too dense, the recipe won't work. We suggest Italian bread as the most comparable.

BREAD PUDDING WITH WHISKEY SAUCE



Bread Pudding With Whiskey Sauce image

The whiskey sauce is what makes this recipe incredible. It comes from my friend Beth, who is a great cook! She also uses nuts or pineapple for a variation.

Provided by mermaidmagic

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h20m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 loaf bread (any type white, wheat, etc. 16 oz.ish)
4 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon vanilla
3 cups packed brown sugar (hard)
5 cups half-and-half or 5 cups milk (or a combination)
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup whiskey

Steps:

  • For the pudding:.
  • In a large bowl, mix beaten egg with vanilla, brown sugar, cream/milk with wire whisk until blended.
  • Add raisins.
  • Break up bread into 13x9x2 pan and pour the liquid (above) in slowly.
  • When all the liquid is in, use either your clean hands or a spoon to squish the bread so that it falls apart and becomes mixed evenly with the liquid.
  • It needs to be very wet and somewhat “giggly”.
  • Bake in 375 degree oven for about 45 minutes to one hour- test at 45 minutes with a knife to see if the pudding is set up.
  • The pudding should bounce back a little and the knife should come out almost clean from the center.
  • The pudding will look very raised and “poofy” when you remove it from the oven.
  • It will fall in a minute.
  • For the Sauce:.
  • In a small saucepan, melt one stick butter or margarine.
  • Add brown sugar and stir constantly until melted.
  • Add whiskey and stir again until heated.
  • Double the recipe if you like a lot of sauce on the bread pudding, but use only ¾ cup of the whiskey.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bread: Stale or day-old bread is best for bread pudding, as it will absorb the custard mixture more evenly and result in a more consistent texture.
  • Use a variety of breads: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of bread, such as white, wheat, and sourdough, to create a more complex flavor and texture.
  • Soak the bread in the custard mixture: This will help to ensure that the bread is evenly moistened and cooked through.
  • Don't overcook the bread pudding: Overcooked bread pudding will be dry and dense, so keep an eye on it while it's baking and remove it from the oven as soon as it is set.
  • Serve the bread pudding warm: Bread pudding is best served warm, so that the flavors can really shine through.

Conclusion:

Bread pudding is a classic dessert that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its rich flavors and creamy texture, bread pudding is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So next time you have some leftover bread, don't throw it away - make bread pudding instead!
