New Orleans Bread Pudding With Whiskey Sauce image

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.

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.

  • 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.

  • It will fall in a minute.
  • For the Sauce:.
  • In a small saucepan, melt one stick butter or margarine.

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.

Provided by dhummel930

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield 16-20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (10 ounce) French bread, stale loaf, crumbled
4 cups milk
2 cups sugar
8 tablespoons butter, melted
3 eggs
2 tablespoons vanilla
1 cup raisins
1 cup coconut
1 cup pecans, chopped
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
8 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 egg yolks
1/2 cup Bourbon (or to taste)

Steps:

  • Bread Pudding:.
  • Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Mixture should be moist but not soupy (oatmeal consistency).
  • Pour into a buttered 9" by 12" (or larger) baking dish.
  • Place in 'non-preheated' oven.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, until top is golden brown.
  • Serve with warm whiskey sauce.
  • Whiskey Sauce:.
  • Cream butter and sugar over medium heat until all butter is absorbed.
  • Remove from heat and blend in egg yolk.
  • Pour in bourbon gradually stirring constantly.
  • Sauce will thicken as it cools.
  • Serve warm over bread pudding.

Tips:

  • Use stale bread: Stale bread absorbs more liquid and results in a more custardy bread pudding.
  • Soak the raisins in whiskey: Soaking the raisins in whiskey plumps them up and infuses them with flavor.
  • Use a combination of milk and cream: This will give the bread pudding a rich and creamy texture.
  • Add spices: Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger add warmth and flavor to the bread pudding.
  • Don't overmix: Overmixing the bread pudding will make it tough.
  • Bake the bread pudding in a water bath: This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from drying out.
  • Serve the bread pudding warm with whiskey sauce and fruit: This is the best way to enjoy this classic dessert.

Conclusion:

Bread pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make the best bread pudding you've ever tasted. So next time you have some stale bread on hand, don't throw it away! Make bread pudding instead. You won't be disappointed.
