Ingredients
For the bread pudding:
- 1 tablespoon butter , softened
- 6 egg large
- 3 cups heavy cream
- ⅔ cup pumpkin puree
- ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1- pound cinnamon-raisin bread cut into ¾-inch cubes, loaf
For the whiskey pecan sauce:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 3 egg large yolks
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons butter
- ⅔ cup pecans , chopped
- ⅓ cup whiskey
Instructions
- To prepare bread pudding, preheat oven to 375°F. Coat 9x13-inch baking pan with 1 tablespoon butter.
- In large bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, pumpkin puree, maple syrup and pumpkin pie spice until smooth. Add bread cubes and let stand 5 minutes. Pour into prepared baking pan. Bake 40-45 minutes until golden brown and center is set. (The bread pudding will puff as it bakes and will deflate once it’s cooled from the oven.)
- To prepare the whiskey pecan sauce, add the cream, egg yolks and sugar to 2-quart saucepan and whisk until smooth. Cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, whisking constantly, or until mixture thinly coats back of spoon. Remove from heat and let the mixture stand, stirring often as it cools.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in saucepan on medium heat and add pecans. Cook 4-5 minutes or until butter browns and you smell a nutty aroma.
- Stir the browned butter and pecans into the cream mixture. Stir in the whiskey.
- Serve bread pudding warm drizzled with bourbon pecan sauce. Sauce may be refrigerated for up to 1 day before serving.
