Ingredients

  • 2 cups eggnog
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 egg
  • ¼ cup light brown muscovado sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg ground, plus extra for topping

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190C/170C Fan) and butter a deep sided baking dish.
  2. In a small saucepan, heat the currants with the whisky and vanilla over a medium heat until the liquid begins to boil. Allow to boil for about 2-3 minutes to allow the currants to infuse with the flavour. Remove from the stovetop and allow to cool.
  3. In a large jug, add your eggnog, eggs, sugar and ground nutmeg. Whisk together.
  4. Place your cubed bread in a large mixing bowl and add the eggnog mixture. Toss to coat the bread and allow to soak for about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the melted butter along with the currants and excess liquor from the saucepan. Stir through.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and cover in a layer of aluminium foil. Place in the centre of the oven to bake for about 1 hour. In order to check for doneness, use a table knife inserted into the centre of the bread pudding. The pudding is ready when this comes out clean.
  7. Once baked, remove from the oven and cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
  8. Serve warm with whipped cream and fresh grated nutmeg.
