BREAD PUDDING WITH BOURBON PECAN SAUCE
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...

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.
Tips:
- Use stale bread for a better texture. Stale bread will absorb more of the custard, resulting in a richer, more flavorful pudding.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the pudding tough.
- Bake the pudding in a water bath. This will help to prevent the pudding from becoming dry.
- Let the pudding cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the pudding to set.
- Serve the pudding with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream.
Conclusion:
Chocolate bread pudding is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its rich, chocolatey flavor and creamy texture, this pudding is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. The bourbon pecan sauce is the perfect accompaniment to the pudding, adding a touch of sweetness and a nutty flavor. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy dessert, give chocolate bread pudding with bourbon pecan sauce a try.
