Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups Day-old bread (French bread or brioche)
- 3 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 4 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup Raisins (optional)
- 1 stick Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons Jack Daniels whiskey
- 2 tablespoons Whole milk (for sauce)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.
Cut the day-old bread into 1-inch cubes and place them in the greased baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until smooth.
Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring all the bread is saturated. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb the liquid. If using raisins, sprinkle them evenly over the mixture.
Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the bread pudding and cover the baking dish with foil.
Bake for 30 minutes covered, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
While the bread pudding is baking, prepare the Jack Daniels sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the stick of butter over medium heat.
Add the powdered sugar and whisk until smooth, then mix in the Jack Daniels whiskey and milk. Continue whisking until the sauce is heated through and thickened slightly, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Serve the warm bread pudding drizzled with the Jack Daniels sauce.
