JACK DANIELS BREAD PUDDING
This recipe was shared with me by a DF when she brought it to one of our Lady Elks Pot Luck Dinners when I lived in Nevada City, CA. All though there is another recipe for a bread pudding with Jack Daniel's sauce it is NOT the same, and this is the recipe my family requests on many of our get togethers. This makes 2 large pans of pudding, and can be halved, or freeze one for later.

Steps:
- Pudding:.
- Lightly grease deep dish casserole pans.
- Fill with toasted bread cubes and raisins mixed together.
- Heat milk and butter in pan over medium heat.
- Whisk sugar, eggs, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt. Add 1 cup of the heated milk mixture to this, then mix this into the hot milk mixture. Pour over the bread and raisins. Put your casserole dish (I use two 9x13 inch casseroles and bake one at a time) with the pudding into a deeper pan that has at least an inch of water in it, and cover with foil.
- Bake at 350°F for one hour. Remove foil and place back in oven for an additional 15 minutes, or until nicely browned. Pour cream sauce over the pudding and keep warm in oven until time to serve.
- Cream Sauce (I make this while the pudding is cooking):.
- Combine all ingredients into a large saucepan and heat to boiling. Turn heat down to low and allow to reduce to consistency of your liking.
- I double the sauce recipe so I can have some to pour over the pudding and ice cream when I serve it.
- Serve hot with either ice cream and extra sauce or with heavy cream drizzled over it.

BEST EVER BREAD PUDDING
The secret to incredible bread pudding with a soft middle and crisp edges starts with leftover dinner rolls. I picked up the rich brown sugar sauce recipe from my friend Kathryn Gartmann. A big drizzle of it takes this dessert over the top and really makes it the best bread pudding ever. -Maria Petrella, Taste of Home Prep Cook

Steps:
- For the cola reduction: First, pour the cola into a medium saucepot and bring to boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and reduce the cola down until one-quarter of the liquid remains, about 30 minutes. Chill to room temperature.
- For the ice cream: While the cola is reducing on the stove, take the milk and sugar and bring to a simmer in medium saucepan to dissolve the sugar. Once the milk is warm, combine with the heavy cream and whiskey; this is your ice cream base. Pour the base into an ice cream machine and blend until a thick consistency is reached. Place in a freezable container and freeze for additional hour to firm the ice cream.
- For the bread pudding: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. While the ice cream is finishing, place the yolks in a medium mixing bowl. Add the sugar to the yolks and beat until fully incorporated. Slowly pour the cream into the egg mixture, stirring constantly, and when all the cream is mixed together add half of your cola reduction, saving the other half for garnishing. Cut the bread into bite-size pieces and evenly distribute in a 9- by 12-inch nonstick pan. Pour the cream mixture over the bread and press down so that the bread absorbs the cream. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, uncover and bake for additional 15 minutes. The pudding should have firm consistency and slight browning on top. Remove from the oven.
- While the bread pudding is still warm to the touch, cut out circles with a round cookie cutter and place in serving bowls. Scoop one spoonful of ice cream on top of the bread pudding and garnish by drizzling cola reduction on top.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- With an electric hand mixer, beat the egg whites in a large bowl until they form soft peaks. Set aside.
- In another large bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread, almond milk and salt until smooth. With a rubber spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate-hazelnut mixture until fully incorporated. Add the bread cubes and mix gently. Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes.
- Brush the inside of the ramekins with the olive oil. To each ramekin add 1 tablespoon of the remaining chocolate-hazelnut spread. Then ladle in 1/2 cup of the bread mixture. Set the filled ramekins on a baking sheet and bake until puffed and beginning to brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve immediately, topped with a piece of hazelnut brittle.
- In a small saucepan, mix the sugar with the water until it looks like wet sand. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring gently to dissolve the sugar. Simmer, without disturbing, for 20 minutes, or until the mixture turns a light amber color.
- Spray a small rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Spread the chopped hazelnuts out on the baking sheet. Pour the caramel over the hazelnuts and let sit for 10 minutes, or until hardened. Break into shards.
Tips:
- Stale Bread: Use slightly stale bread for a better texture. Fresh bread can be too soft and result in a mushy bread pudding.
- Soaking the Bread: Ensure the bread is adequately soaked in the custard mixture before baking. This allows the bread to absorb the flavors and become tender.
- Balancing Ingredients: Adjust the ratio of bread, custard, and fillings according to your preference. More bread will result in a denser pudding, while more custard will create a softer one.
- Don't Overmix: Avoid overmixing the custard mixture. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense bread pudding.
- Baking Dish: Choose a baking dish that is large enough to accommodate the bread mixture without overcrowding. A 9x13 inch baking dish is a good size for most recipes.
- Baking Time: Keep an eye on the bread pudding while baking. The cooking time may vary depending on the oven and the size of the baking dish. Insert a toothpick or knife into the center; it should come out clean when the bread pudding is done.
- Serving: Serve the bread pudding warm or at room temperature. Top with whipped cream, ice cream, or your favorite sauce for an extra indulgent treat.
Conclusion:
Bread pudding is a versatile and delicious dessert that can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. Experiment with different bread types, fillings, and toppings to create a bread pudding that suits your taste. Whether you prefer a classic bread pudding with raisins and cinnamon or a more creative version with chocolate chips and berries, this comforting dish is sure to become a favorite.
