BREAD PUDDING WITH SOUTHERN BOURBON SAUCE



Bread Pudding with Southern Bourbon Sauce image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups stale French bread, cut in 3/4-inch cubes
2 cups milk
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
4 tablespoons butter, melted and slightly cooled
1/2 cup sultana raisins
2 egg yolks
1 stick butter, not margarine
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup bourbon whiskey, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place stale bread in a bowl with milk and squeeze the bread with your hand until well saturated with milk.
  • With an electric mixer on high speed in a separate bowl, beat eggs with sugar until thick and pale. Stir in the vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, butter and raisins to the egg mixture. Add the soaked bread crumbs to the egg mixture and stir well. Let stand for 10 minutes. It is important to allow enough time for the bread to absorb the egg mixture or the bread crumbs will float to the top during baking, leaving a layer of custard on the bottom of the dish.
  • Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. Bake until firm, or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 45 to 50 minutes. Let it slightly cool in the dish.
  • Meanwhile, near the end of the baking time, make the sauce. With an electric mixer, beat egg yolks until thick and pale. In a saucepan, melt the butter and sugar. Pour the butter and sugar mixture over the egg yolks, beating constantly with the mixer, until well thickened. Stir in bourbon by hand. Serve the pudding warm with vanilla ice cream if desired. Pass the hot bourbon sauce separately.

CREOLE BREAD PUDDING WITH BOURBON SAUCE



Creole Bread Pudding With Bourbon Sauce image

I found this recipe on the MyRecipes.com website. The intro states it originates from New Orleans chef Leah Chase, the queen of Creole cuisine (and from Dooky Chase's Restaurant in New Orleans, Louisiana). It is positively delicious. It's really quite good as a plain bread pudding (without the added sauce). But the Bourbon sauce is really the je ne sais quoi finish that makes this stand out far above all the others I've tried. For those who don't care for alcohol, the Bourbon Sauce is not really "boozey" (it's not detected at all, in fact) but is a creamy sauce with a slight caramel flair to it.

2 (12 ounce) cans evaporated milk
6 large eggs, lightly beaten

1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1 large Red Delicious apple, unpeeled and grated

1 cup raisins
5 tablespoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes and softened
3 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons Bourbon
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

Stir in cream and sugar; cook, whisking constantly, for 3 minutes or until thickened. Stir in bourbon, vanilla, and nutmeg; cook, whisking constantly, 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated.

BOURBON CUSTARD SAUCE FOR BREAD PUDDING



Bourbon Custard Sauce for Bread Pudding image

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups milk
5 teaspoons Sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons Cornstarch
2 tablespoons Butter
2 Large Eggs Yolks, beaten
2 tablespoons Bourbon
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1/2 cup Heavy Cream

Steps:

  • In a 2 quart saucepan, beat together milk, sugar, and cornstarch until smooth. Add butter, chopped, to the mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils and thickens. In a small bowl, beat egg yolks, sir a few tablespoons hot milk mixture into yolks. Pour yolk mixture into saucepan with remaining milk mixture and cook over meduim heat until mixture just approaches boiling. Remove saucepan from heat and stir in bourbon and vanilla. Pour custard into a bowl; cover and refrigerate until cold. Just before serving, stir 1/2 cup heavy cream into chilled custard.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of bread for a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include French bread, brioche, and challah.
  • Soak the bread in the custard mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help the bread absorb the flavors of the custard and make it more tender.
  • If you don't have a double boiler, you can create one by placing a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water.
  • Be sure to whisk the custard mixture constantly while it is cooking to prevent it from curdling.
  • If you want a richer flavor, you can add a splash of bourbon to the custard mixture.
  • Serve the bread pudding warm with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Custard bread pudding is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its rich, creamy custard and soft, tender bread, it's the perfect comfort food for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying dessert, give custard bread pudding a try!
