Steps:
- To make the sauce: Bring the cream, milk, and sugar to a boil in a heavy small saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently. In a small bowl, mix the amaretto and cornstarch to blend and then whisk into the cream mixture. Simmer over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes. Set aside and keep warm. (The amaretto sauce can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm before serving.)
- To make the bread pudding: Lightly butter a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish. Arrange the bread cubes in the prepared dish. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, cream, milk, and sugar to blend. Pour the custard over the bread cubes, and press the bread cubes gently to submerge. Let stand for 30 minutes, occasionally pressing the bread cubes into the custard mixture. (Recipe can be prepared up to this point 2 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Bake until the pudding puffs and is set in the center, about 45 minutes. Cool slightly. Spoon the bread pudding into bowls, drizzle with the warm amaretto sauce, and serve.

SAVOURY AMARETTO CREAM SAUCE
A lovely sauce for pasta and chicken (or whatever you may like). Not for dieters, but worth every calorie! I love amaretto and looked high and low for a sauce recipe. I couldn't find any on Zaar that fit the bill so this one was created based on the few that I found from other online sources. It does not have an overwhelmingly amaretto flavour, but you will detect a hint of sweetness. Smells divine! Note: Cook time is approximate and your yield may vary, depending on how much you let it reduce after each addition.

Steps:
- In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter and brown the almonds until golden brown; be very careful as they will burn quickly.
- As soon as the almonds are nicely browned, add the Amaretto; be extremely careful as it should and will flame up for about 10 seconds or so.
- After about 30 to 40 seconds you will have very little liquid in the pan (it will be dark brown).
- Add the cream, tomato paste, and the crushed bouillon cube and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to a rolling simmer and reduce by half (about 12 minutes) stirring often.
- The finished sauce should have a beige, ever so slight pink color and coat the back of a spoon.
- NOTE: If the Amaretto doesn't flare up in the pan, don't worry! Your sauce will be fine.
