Almond Amaretto Bread Pudding with Amaretto Sauce image

This recipe is a little different from other bread puddings I've made but it is really amazing! The Amaretto flavor is wonderful with the cinnamon and the cream sauce, well I could just drink that stuff. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 17

butter or margarine
1 loaf french bread
4 c milk
1 can(s) (6 oz) condensed milk
6 eggs
2 c sugar
1 Tbsp almond extract
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 c amaretto
1/2 c raisins (optional)
1/3 c cinnamon
1 c sliced or slivered almonds
AMARETTO CREAM SAUCE
2 Tbsp cornstarch
1/2 c amaretto
2 c heavy or whipping cream
1 c sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Grease a 9 x 11 x 2 inch baking pan with butter or margarine.
  • 2. Cut or tear French bread into 1/2 - 1 inch pieces. Soak in milk and condensed milk until all milk is absorbed.
  • 3. In separate bowl, mix eggs, sugar, almond and vanilla extracts and Amaretto.
  • 4. Combine all ingredients, then stir in raisins. Fold in cinnamon - most of the cinnamon will stay on the surface (it doesn't have to be evenly mixed.)
  • 5. Pour into buttered baking dish and sprinkle the top with almonds pieces and a little cinnamon. Bake at 350ยบ F for 40-55 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
  • 6. SAUCE DIRECTIONS:
  • 7. In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the Amaretto and whisk until smooth.
  • 8. In a medium saucepan, scald cream over medium heat. Add the Amaretto slurry to the hot cream and whisk constantly. Bring mixture to a boil then reduce heat and cook for 30 seconds, whisking constantly.
  • 9. Remove saucepan from the heat and add sugar. Whisk until sugar is dissolved and allow sauce to cool down before serving with bread pudding.
  • 10. NOTE: I don't use raisins in this recipe but if you love raisins in your bread pudding then add them. It's good both ways.

I thought the almond flavor was a bit too strong. I would have preferred a more balanced flavor profile.

This bread pudding is a bit too rich for my taste. I would have preferred a less sweet and boozy sauce.

I thought this bread pudding was just okay. The flavor was a bit bland for my taste, and the texture was a bit too dense.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bread pudding turned out dry and crumbly. The flavor was still good, but the texture was off.
