Provided by Diana Rattray

Categories     Dessert

Time 2h28m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 22

For the Bread Pudding:
1/4 cup raisins
2 tablespoons whiskey, or bourbon
12 ounces day-old French bread
2 cups half-and-half
1 cup whole milk
3 large eggs
1 cup light or dark brown sugar, packed
2 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated or ground nutmeg
Dash of salt
For the Whiskey Sauce:
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup white granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons whiskey, or bourbon
2 egg yolks
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract. optional

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Place the raisins and whiskey in a small saucepan and heat just until the mixture comes to a simmer. Remove from the heat and let stand for 20 to 30 minutes. Alternatively, place the raisins and whiskey in a cup and heat in the microwave oven for about 20 to 30 seconds, leaving to rest for 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Slice the bread into 1/2-inch rounds and then cut the rounds into 1/2-inch cubes; you should have about 8 cups of bread cubes.
  • In a large bowl, combine the half-and-half and whole milk with the eggs and brown sugar. Whisk until well blended. Add the vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and dash of salt.
  • Add the bread cubes and soaked raisins with their liquid to the bowl with the milk-egg mixture and stir to coat thoroughly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Stir occasionally.
  • While the mixture rests, preheat the oven to 325 F. Generously butter a 2 1/2-quart baking dish.
  • Spoon the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish, distributing the raisins as evenly as possible.
  • Bake the bread pudding in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until it is firm and golden brown. Remove the bread pudding to a rack to cool.
  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar in a medium saucepan and set aside.
  • In a small bowl or cup, whisk the cornstarch with the whiskey or bourbon.
  • In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks and set aside.
  • Place the saucepan with the cream mixture over medium heat and add the cornstarch mixture. Cook until the sauce comes to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Add about 1/2 cup of the hot mixture to the egg yolks while whisking constantly. By tempering the mixture you prevent the eggs from becoming curdled.
  • Pour the egg yolk mixture into the saucepan and cook for 1 minute longer. Whisk in a pinch of salt, the butter, and vanilla, if using.
  • Transfer the sauce to a bowl and if not serving immediately, place a sheet of plastic wrap directly on top to prevent a skin from forming. The sauce will thicken more as it stands. When ready to serve, spoon some of the warm sauce over each serving of bread pudding and enjoy.

Yield About 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 cups whole-grain bread cubes (from about 4 to 5 pieces of sandwich bread)
Unsalted butter, for buttering the baking dish

Categories     dessert

Time 1h23m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

5 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
8 tablespoons butter, cut up
2 cups cream
1 (12-inch) loaf French bread, crusts removed and sliced into 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup raisins
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1 cup cream
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter

5 tablespoons whiskey
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Whipped cream, optional

Steps:

  • In a bowl, whisk the eggs until well blended. Add the sugar and mix in then add the vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, butter, and cream. Lay the bread cubes in a 8 by 8 inch square baking dish, sprinkle the nuts and raisins around, and then pour the custard over the bread. Cover the dish and let it soak overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cover the dish with foil and poke holes in it. Bake until bread pudding souffled up, about 40 minutes then remove the foil, and bake another 10 minutes to brown lightly.
  • For the sauce, in a saucepan heat the cream, sugar, cinnamon, and butter together until almost boiling. Meanwhile, mix the cornstarch with the whiskey and stir it into the hot liquid. Bring just to a boil to thicken it.
  • To serve, pour a few spoonfuls of the whiskey sauce on a dessert plate. Scoop out the desired portion size of the pudding, placing it on the sauced plate. Dust the pudding with powdered sugar and finish it off with a dollop of whipped cream.
  • Notes about the recipe: This is a restaurant recipe so uses leftover bread. Save the crusts and dry them in a low oven, then grind them in a food processor to make bread crumbs.

STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING



Sticky Toffee Pudding image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     dessert

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 ounces pitted dates
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup light brown sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 tablespoon orange zest
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons Irish whiskey

Steps:

  • For the pudding: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Add the dates and 3/4 cup water to a small saucepan and heat over medium-high heat until boiling. Turn the heat down to low and simmer until the water has slightly reduced and the dates are beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Turn off the heat, then cover the saucepan and let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the dates and liquid to a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Process until smooth. Pour the date mixture into a bowl and cool to room temperature.
  • Add the flour, baking powder and salt to a mixing bowl. Whisk to break up any lumps of flour. Set aside the dry ingredients. Add the brown sugar and butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream the butter and sugar together, scraping down the bowl as needed, until fluffy and lighter in color, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the egg and beat until it is evenly combined. Add the orange zest and vanilla and mix until incorporated. Add half of the flour mixture to the butter mixture. Mix until incorporated, then add the date mixture. Mix until well combined, then add the remaining flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
  • Spray 8 of the cups in a 12-cup muffin pan with the cooking spray. Fill the greased cups with 1/3 cup batter each. Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 20 minutes.
  • For the whiskey toffee sauce: Meanwhile, add the heavy whipping cream, brown sugar, butter, vanilla and salt to a small saucepan and heat over medium-high heat. Stir the mixture continuously until the butter is melted. Bring the mixture to a boil, then turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Add the whiskey and continue to simmer until the sauce has slightly darkened in color, an additional 2 minutes. Turn the heat off and keep covered until ready to serve.
  • Cool the puddings in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Once the puddings are cool enough to handle, remove them from the muffin pan using an offset spatula. Trim the domed tops from the puddings and set them on serving plates, cut-side down. Pour the warm whiskey toffee sauce over the puddings and serve immediately.

WHISKEY-ORANGE BREAD PUDDING



Whiskey-Orange Bread Pudding image

A bottle of workmanlike Scotch or other whiskey can be as useful in the kitchen as it is on the bar, contributing alcohol and flavor to a range of recipes. A splash of it can sharpen a pan sauce for steak or pork, it's excellent flambé material, and it's especially compatible with dried fruit. I have soaked dried currants in whiskey to add to a simple chocolate cake. For this recipe, which takes its cue from the Blood and Sand cocktail made with orange juice and Scotch, I used the spirit to bolster a warm bread pudding laced with orange, both grated zest and candied peel, and finished with a marmalade and whiskey glaze. Supermarkets and fancy food shops, as well as online sources, sell candied orange peel. But absent that ingredient you can substitute slivered dried Turkish apricots.

Categories     custards and puddings, dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Unsalted butter for baking dish
2 cups/480 milliliters whole milk
1/2 cup/100 grams sugar
Grated zest of 1 large navel orange
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons/90 milliliters Scotch whisky
3 large eggs, beaten
5 cups baguette (about 235 grams) torn in small pieces
1 cup/about 6 ounces/160 grams chopped candied orange peel (or slivered dried Turkish apricots)
1/2 cup/165 grams orange marmalade
1 8- or 9-ounce container/280 grams mascarpone

Steps:

  • Heavily butter a 6-cup square or round baking dish. Place milk and sugar in a saucepan, heat until it is about to simmer and remove from heat. Add orange zest and salt. Set aside until just warm, about 10 minutes. Stir in 4 tablespoons of the whisky. When the milk mixture is no longer hot, beat in the eggs.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place the bread pieces in a large bowl. Pour milk mixture over them, add candied peel and let soak 15 minutes. Place marmalade in a small saucepan, add remaining whisky and heat to dissolve whisky in the marmalade.
  • Spoon half the bread mixture into a baking dish and smooth the surface. Cover with dabs of half the mascarpone. Spoon in remaining bread mixture. Place in the oven and bake 15 minutes. Brush with marmalade and whiskey glaze and continue baking until top is lightly brown and starts to become crusty, another 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and let cool at least 30 minutes before serving. Beat remaining mascarpone with a whisk or fork for several minutes to smooth and loosen it. Serve alongside.

BREAD PUDDING WITH WHISKEY SAUCE RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by southerngrace

Number Of Ingredients 16

BREAD PUDDING:
9 cups day-old bread, croissants, or cinnamon rolls
1 cup dried fruit
3 eggs
2 cups granulated sugar
4 cups milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
WHISKEY SAUCE:
1 cup butter
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup whiskey
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
2 eggs

Steps:

  • BREAD PUDDING: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Cut the bread into small cubes and put the cubes into the prepared dish. Scatter the raisins evenly along the top. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon until frothy and well-combined. Pour the liquid carefully over the bread and mash everything together. Let this sit for at least an hour, mashing it a few more times so that all of the bread absorbs as much liquid as possible. Bake for 60 to 75 minutes, or until you see no liquid when you press the bread in the middle of the pan. WHISKEY SAUCE: Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the sugar, whiskey, water, salt, and nutmeg, and cook this mixture until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Beat the eggs in a bowl and then slowly add a bit of the hot whiskey mixture, whisking as you go. Once tempered, add the egg mixture to the whiskey mixture and return to the heat. When a boil is reached, cook for one minute, then remove from the heat. To serve, cut a square of bread pudding and cover it with whiskey sauce, making sure both are warm.

  • It will fall in a minute.
  • For the Sauce:.
  • In a small saucepan, melt one stick butter or margarine.
  • Add brown sugar and stir constantly until melted.
  • Add whiskey and stir again until heated.
