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

Provided by Food Network

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.

BETTY CROCKER'S BREAD PUDDING WITH WHISKEY SAUCE



Betty Crocker's Bread Pudding With Whiskey Sauce image

Don't let day-old bread go to waste. In addition to white bread, try whole wheat, cinnamon-raisin, egg bread or other flavors of bread that appeal to you. For a family dessert, instead of the whiskey sauce, serve warm caramel sauce to drizzle over each warm, gooey serving. This recipe is from a new cookbook that I just bought called "Betty Crocker Country Favorites."

CHERRY BREAD PUDDING



Cherry Bread Pudding image

This is inspired by a recipe by the French baker Jacquy Pfeiffer, whose French Pastry School in Chicago is the only school of its kind in the country. Jacquy's recipe, called a bettelmann, is a traditional Alsatian dish made with day-old brioche. This version, made with regular or whole-wheat bread, is not as rich.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dessert

Time 3h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 ounces stale white or whole-wheat bread, crusts removed (weigh after removing crusts)
1 cup low-fat milk (2 percent)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Softened butter for the baking dish
3 eggs, separated
50 grams (1/2 cup) almond flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons mild honey, like clover
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 pound cherries, pitted
2 tablespoons sliced almonds, lightly toasted
1 teaspoon kirsch (optional)

Steps:

  • Cut the bread into 3/4-inch squares. Combine the milk and vanilla and toss with the bread in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or longer.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 9-inch ceramic tart pan or 2-quart baking dish. Arrange the pitted cherries in the dish.
  • Remove the soaked bread from the refrigerator and beat with a whisk or an immersion blender until it becomes a mush. Beat in the egg yolks, almond flour, cinnamon, kirsch if using, and honey.
  • In a clean, dry bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment, begin beating the egg whites on low speed. Gradually add the sugar, turn up the speed to high and whip until the egg whites form a soft meringue, about 1 minute. Be careful not to overbeat, as you do not want the mixture to dry out. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the bread mixture. Scrape into the baking dish. Sprinkle the sliced almonds on top.
  • Bake 40 minutes, until puffed and golden brown. Serve warm.

BREAD PUDDING WITH WARM WHISKEY SAUCE



Bread Pudding With Warm Whiskey Sauce image

Make and share this Bread Pudding With Warm Whiskey Sauce recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Galley Wench

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup raisins
1/2 loaf French bread, cut into 1 inch cubes
1 quart half-and-half
4 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 pinch nutmeg
1/2 cup butter, melted
4 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup whiskey
1 cup butter
2 cups sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Soak raisins in warm water for 30 minutes, then drain.
  • Lighly grease a 9-inch-glass casserole and fill with French bread cubes(use enough bread to come all the way to the top of the pan).
  • Sprinkle raisins on top.
  • In large bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, beaten eggs, sugar, vanilla, nutmeg and melted butter.
  • Pour over the bread and raisins and lighly fold in using a spatula.
  • Allow the bread to soak for 30 minutes. The pan will be very full. If you have too much batter, discard the excess. If there is not enough to fill the pan add additional half-and-half or milk.
  • Bake for about 45 minutes, until the pudding is golden brown and puffed up around the edges. The center should be "set" but still a little soft.
  • To make the whiskey sauce:
  • In a small bowl beat eggs together with whiskey. Set aside.
  • Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat.
  • Add the sugar and stir well.
  • Remove from the heat, let cool slightly. Quickly whisk in the beaten eggs and whiskey.
  • Place the sauce back on the stove over low heat and whisk constantly until the sauce has slightly thickened, about 6 to 8 minutes.
  • NOTE: If over cooked the sauce will curdle.
  • Keep warm until serving.

Tips:

  • To ensure moist and flavorful bread pudding, use slightly stale bread. This allows the bread to absorb more of the custard mixture.
  • For a richer flavor, use a combination of whole milk and heavy cream in the custard mixture.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar in the custard mixture to suit your taste preferences.
  • For a boozy twist, add a splash of your favorite whiskey to the custard mixture.
  • If you don't have a double boiler, you can create a makeshift one by placing a heatproof bowl over a saucepan filled with simmering water.
  • To prevent the bread pudding from sticking to the baking dish, grease the dish with butter or cooking spray before pouring in the custard mixture.
  • Bake the bread pudding until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve the bread pudding warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Conclusion:

Cherry almond bread pudding with whiskey sauce is a deliciously decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and flavorful texture, rich custard filling, and boozy whiskey sauce, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to impress your guests, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
