Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

SAUCE
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 1/4 cups whipping cream
1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
2 tablespoons bourbon
PUDDING
2 cups milk (do not use low-fat or nonfat)
2 cups whipping cream
1 cup sugar
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
8 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 1-pound unsliced egg bread, crusts trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces

Steps:

FOR SAUCE:
Stir sugar and water in heavy large saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Mix in corn syrup and lemon juice. Increase heat and boil without stirring until syrup turns deep amber, brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush and swirling pan occasionally. Remove from heat. Pour in cream (mixture will bubble up). Stir over low heat until caramel is melted and smooth. Increase heat; boil until sauce is reduced to 1 2/3 cups, stirring often, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Mix in pecans and bourbon. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Rewarm before using.)
FOR PUDDING:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine milk, cream and sugar in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to boil. Remove from heat. Add chocolate; stir until smooth. Beat eggs and vanilla in large bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in chocolate mixture. Add bread cubes. Let stand until bread absorbs some of custard, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
Transfer mixture to 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Cover with foil. Bake until set in center, about 45 minutes. Uncover; cool at least 15 minutes.
Serve pudding warm or at room temperature with warm sauce.

PECAN BOURBON CARAMEL SAUCE

Categories Dairy Nut Dessert Quick & Easy Low Sodium Winter Gourmet Kidney Friendly Vegetarian Pescatarian Wheat/Gluten-Free Peanut Free Soy Free Kosher

Yield Makes about 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 cup sugar
3/4 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons bourbon
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 cup toasted chopped pecans

Steps:

In a dry heavy saucepan cook sugar over moderately low heat, stirring slowly with a fork (to help sugar melt evenly), until melted and pale golden. Cook caramel, without stirring, swirling pan, until deep golden. Remove pan from heat and carefully add cream, bourbon, lemon juice, and pecans (caramel will steam and harden). Return pan to heat and simmer sauce, stirring, until caramel is dissolved, about 5 minutes.
Pour sauce into a bowl and cool slightly. (Sauce keeps, covered and chilled, 2 weeks.)

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your sauce will taste. Use real butter, heavy cream, and pure vanilla extract.
Don't overcook the sugar: If you overcook the sugar, it will become bitter. Cook it just until it reaches a light amber color.
Be careful when adding the bourbon: The bourbon can easily ignite if it comes into contact with a hot flame. Add it slowly and carefully.
Let the sauce cool slightly before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
Serve the sauce warm: Pecan bourbon caramel sauce is best served warm, over ice cream, pancakes, or waffles.

Conclusion:

Pecan bourbon caramel sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of desserts. It's easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. So next time you're looking for a special dessert sauce, give pecan bourbon caramel sauce a try. You won't be disappointed!
