For the Bread Pudding:

  • 6 cups cubed brioche or French bread (slightly stale)
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup whiskey (bourbon or preferred brand)

  2. Slowly add heavy cream, stirring continuously.
  3. Pour in whiskey, vanilla, and salt, stirring until thickened (3-5 minutes).
  4. Drizzle warm sauce over the baked bread pudding before serving.

Notes

  • Use day-old bread for better absorption and texture.
