JACK AND COLA BREAD PUDDING WITH WHISKEY ICE CREAM

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 2h45m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 liters cola
2 cups milk
1 cup sugar
4 cups heavy cream
3/4 cup whiskey
9 egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar
3 cups heavy cream
6 cups chopped bread

Steps:

  • For the cola reduction: First, pour the cola into a medium saucepot and bring to boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and reduce the cola down until one-quarter of the liquid remains, about 30 minutes. Chill to room temperature.
  • For the ice cream: While the cola is reducing on the stove, take the milk and sugar and bring to a simmer in medium saucepan to dissolve the sugar. Once the milk is warm, combine with the heavy cream and whiskey; this is your ice cream base. Pour the base into an ice cream machine and blend until a thick consistency is reached. Place in a freezable container and freeze for additional hour to firm the ice cream.
  • For the bread pudding: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. While the ice cream is finishing, place the yolks in a medium mixing bowl. Add the sugar to the yolks and beat until fully incorporated. Slowly pour the cream into the egg mixture, stirring constantly, and when all the cream is mixed together add half of your cola reduction, saving the other half for garnishing. Cut the bread into bite-size pieces and evenly distribute in a 9- by 12-inch nonstick pan. Pour the cream mixture over the bread and press down so that the bread absorbs the cream. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, uncover and bake for additional 15 minutes. The pudding should have firm consistency and slight browning on top. Remove from the oven.
  • While the bread pudding is still warm to the touch, cut out circles with a round cookie cutter and place in serving bowls. Scoop one spoonful of ice cream on top of the bread pudding and garnish by drizzling cola reduction on top.

JACK DANIELS BREAD PUDDING



Jack Daniels Bread Pudding image

This recipe was shared with me by a DF when she brought it to one of our Lady Elks Pot Luck Dinners when I lived in Nevada City, CA. All though there is another recipe for a bread pudding with Jack Daniel's sauce it is NOT the same, and this is the recipe my family requests on many of our get togethers. This makes 2 large pans of pudding, and can be halved, or freeze one for later.

Categories     Dessert

Time 2h15m

Yield 48 pieces, 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

15 cups sourdough French bread, cubed and toasted
5 cups milk
8 eggs
12 tablespoons salted butter
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon nutmeg (I use a bit more of both the nutmeg and cinnamon)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 pinches salt
1 cup raisins
1 lb brown sugar
1 cup salted butter
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup Jack Daniels Whiskey (I use more because I like to be able to REALLY taste this)

Steps:

  • Pudding:.
  • Lightly grease deep dish casserole pans.
  • Fill with toasted bread cubes and raisins mixed together.
  • Heat milk and butter in pan over medium heat.
  • Whisk sugar, eggs, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt. Add 1 cup of the heated milk mixture to this, then mix this into the hot milk mixture. Pour over the bread and raisins. Put your casserole dish (I use two 9x13 inch casseroles and bake one at a time) with the pudding into a deeper pan that has at least an inch of water in it, and cover with foil.
  • Bake at 350°F for one hour. Remove foil and place back in oven for an additional 15 minutes, or until nicely browned. Pour cream sauce over the pudding and keep warm in oven until time to serve.
  • Cream Sauce (I make this while the pudding is cooking):.
  • Combine all ingredients into a large saucepan and heat to boiling. Turn heat down to low and allow to reduce to consistency of your liking.
  • I double the sauce recipe so I can have some to pour over the pudding and ice cream when I serve it.
  • Serve hot with either ice cream and extra sauce or with heavy cream drizzled over it.

FRENCH BREAD PUDDING WITH JACK DANIELS SAUCE



French Bread Pudding With Jack Daniels Sauce image

This recipe is adapted from "The Silver Palate" by Julee Rosso and Sheila Lukins. I have been making it for years and literally am not allowed to come to family holiday dinners without this bread pudding in tow.... or maybe just the sauce ;o) It is super easy to make and you will get rave reviews! Remember to purchase the french bread several days in advance so that it gets very dry and stale - this is very important to the texture of the bread pudding.

Provided by Raquel Grinnell

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h32m

Yield 1 bread pudding, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 loaf French bread, stale
1 quart milk
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 tablespoons vanilla
1 cup craisins or 1 cup sultana
1 cup water
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4-1/2 cup Jack Daniels Whiskey

Steps:

  • Crumble the bread into a bowl. Pour the milk over it and let stand for one to two hours. I've found that the longer it soaks in the milk, the better the end result. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking dish with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the butter.
  • In another bowl, beat together 3 eggs, the granulated sugar and the vanilla. Microwave the dried fruit with the 1/4 cup of Jack Daniels for one to two minutes on high, or until plumped. Drain Jack Daniels and reserve for another use, then cool fruit for a few minutes and stir in to the egg mixture, then stir the egg mixture into the bread and milk, taking care not to break up the soaked bread.
  • Pour into the prepared baking dish, place on the middle rack of the oven, and bake until browned and set, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
  • To make sauce, stir 8 tablespoons butter and confectioners' sugar together in the top of a double boiler over simmering water until sugar is dissolved and mixture is very hot. Remove from the heat. Beat the remaining egg well and whisk it into the sugar mixture. Remove pan from base and continue beating until sauce has cooled to room temperature. Add Jack Daniels to taste (we like it pretty strong!).
  • To serve, preheat broiler. Cut pudding into squares and transfer each square to a heatproof serving dish. Spoon whiskey sauce over pudding and run under broiler until bubbling. Or, alternatively, you can just serve the pudding warm with the sauce spooned over. Be careful if rewarming the sauce in the microwave as you can 'scramble' the egg and the sauce turns an unappetizing grayish color and it thickens - while it still tastes great, its not very pretty.

Tips:

  • Use stale bread: Stale bread will absorb more custard and result in a richer, more flavorful bread pudding.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in a tough, dense bread pudding. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a variety of spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices to flavor your bread pudding. Some popular choices include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
  • Use a sweet sauce: Bread pudding is often served with a sweet sauce, such as caramel, chocolate, or fruit sauce. This helps to balance out the richness of the bread pudding.
  • Bake the bread pudding in a water bath: This will help to prevent the bread pudding from drying out.

Conclusion:

Bread pudding is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be made with a variety of ingredients. It's a great way to use up leftover bread, and it's also a relatively inexpensive dessert to make. With a little bit of creativity, you can create a bread pudding that is sure to impress your friends and family.
