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
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
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.

Time 1h20m

Yield 1 skillet

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup raisins
3/4 cup whiskey
3/4 cup milk
1 cup and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
16 ounces day old French bread, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup butter, cubed
2 ounces cream cheese, cubed
1/4 cup whiskey
1/4 cup milk
coarse salt

Steps:

  • Combine raisins and whiskey in a small bowl. Let sit until raisins are plump, about 30 minutes and up to overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease 10-inch cast iron skillet with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Combine milk, 1 cup granulated sugar, vanilla extract, evaporated milk, eggs, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk to combine. Add raisin-whiskey mixture and stir.
  • Add bread cubes, pressing down gently to moisten; let stand about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Divide mixture among prepared cast iron skillet. Combine remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over pudding. Transfer to oven and bake until custard is set and pudding is golden brown, about 35 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make caramel sauce: Combine granulated sugar and ⅔ cup water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
  • Stir continuously until sugar dissolves.
  • Simmer, not stirring, until sugar mixture is golden, about 18 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and carefully add butter and cream cheese, stirring constantly with a whisk until all clumps are dissolved. Mixture will bubble vigorously. Stir in whiskey, milk, and salt to taste.
  • Serve bread pudding warm with caramel-whiskey sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Bread: Use a sturdy, slightly stale bread for the best texture. Avoid using fresh or soft bread as it will become too mushy.
  • Soak the Bread Properly: Make sure to soak the bread in the milk and egg mixture for at least 15 minutes, or until it is completely saturated. This will help the bread to absorb the flavors and become tender.
  • Don't Overmix: Be gentle when mixing the bread pudding batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense pudding.
  • Bake in a Water Bath: Baking the bread pudding in a water bath helps to create a moist and evenly cooked pudding.
  • Let It Cool: Allow the bread pudding to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Irish bread pudding is a delicious and comforting dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich flavors and creamy texture, it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you have some leftover bread, don't throw it away - make Irish bread pudding instead!
