Categories     dessert

Time 1h32m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 3/4 loaf day-old French bread, crusts cut off and cubed
1/2 cup raisins
1 apple, peeled, cored and chopped
1 banana, diced
1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, optional
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk
1 cup coffee
Bourbon Sauce, recipe follows
16 tablespoons butter
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 cups bourbon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, place the bread cubes, raisins, apple, banana, and nuts (if using) and toss to combine.
  • In a medium bowl with a whisk, combine the eggs, sugar, spices, vanilla, milk, and coffee. Pour the egg mixture over the bread cube mixture and let sit 15 minutes. Pour into a 2-inch deep greased baking pan and bake for 45 minutes.
  • To serve, pour the Bourbon Sauce over the bread pudding. For individual servings, place large spoonfuls of the bread pudding into ovenproof dessert dishes and ladle the sauce over liberally. Place bread pudding under the broiler and broil until bubbly and caramelized.
  • In a mixer with a whip attachment, cream the butter and sugar together then mix in the eggs well. Transfer this to a double boiler and begin to heat it over very low heat. Stir with a wooden spoon until it is loose enough to fall from the spoon. Add the bourbon and stir in. Place the mixture in a heavy saucepan and cook it at a very, very, very low temperature for 2 hours. This maybe more sauce than you will need, but it tastes best cooked in this size.

Tips:

  • Use stale bread: Stale bread works best for bread pudding because it absorbs the custard mixture more evenly, resulting in a more consistent texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense bread pudding. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a variety of bread: Feel free to mix and match different types of bread for a more flavorful bread pudding. Try using a combination of white bread, wheat bread, and/or brioche.
  • Add mix-ins: Add mix-ins like dried fruit, nuts, or chocolate chips to the bread pudding for a more decadent dessert.
  • Bake the bread pudding in a water bath: Baking the bread pudding in a water bath helps to create a moist, tender bread pudding.
  • Let the bread pudding cool slightly before serving: Let the bread pudding cool slightly before serving so that it has a chance to set. This will also make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Mini bourbon bread puddings are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a classic dessert that everyone will love. Whether you serve them warm or cold, these mini bread puddings are sure to be a hit!
