Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease a 13x9-inch baking dish. Set aside.
- Add the raisins and whiskey to a small bowl. Set aside.
- Place the bread cubes in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. I use a jelly roll pan.
- Lightly toast the bread cubes for 10 minutes.
- Set aside.
- Add the milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg to a large bowl.
- Whisk until well combined.
- Add the toasted bread cubes to the prepared baking dish.
- Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes.
- Add the raisins and whiskey to the bread cube mixture.
- Lightly toss to coat and combine.
- Let it stand 15 minutes, pushing the bread cubes into the egg mixture if needed.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until set and baked through. The bread pudding will be puffed and lightly browned.
- To make the sauce, heat the sugar in water over low heat in a medium saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved and mixture is well-combined.
- Bring to a boil and cook, without stirring, until caramelized, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- In a separate small saucepan, warm the heavy cream over low. This will help to prevent the sugar from recrystallizing.
- Add butter and warmed heavy cream to sugar mixture, and cook until well-combined, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the whiskey, and add additional cream if necessary.
- Serve over the warm bread pudding.
Notes
- Raisins: I use dark raisins, but golden raisins would also work.
- Irish whiskey: American whiskey could be used in place of the Irish whiskey. If you'd prefer to make a non-alcoholic bread pudding, you can use orange juice or boiling water. If you use boiling water, drain the water before stirring the raisins in.
- Brioche bread: Or a similar bread like challah. I don't take the crust off of the bread.
- Sugar: Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar to suit your tastes.
- Milk: Any milk from skim milk to whole milk will work. Whole milk will give you richer bread pudding. Heavy cream could also be used for ultra-rich bread pudding.
