Steps:
- To make the sauce: Bring the cream, milk, and sugar to a boil in a heavy small saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently. In a small bowl, mix the amaretto and cornstarch to blend and then whisk into the cream mixture. Simmer over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes. Set aside and keep warm. (The amaretto sauce can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm before serving.)

(Recipe can be prepared up to this point 2 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Bake until the pudding puffs and is set in the center, about 45 minutes. Cool slightly. Spoon the bread pudding into bowls, drizzle with the warm amaretto sauce, and serve.

Steps:
- 1. Grease a 9 x 11 x 2 inch baking pan with butter or margarine.
- 2. Cut or tear French bread into 1/2 - 1 inch pieces. Soak in milk and condensed milk until all milk is absorbed.
- 3. In separate bowl, mix eggs, sugar, almond and vanilla extracts and Amaretto.
- 4. Combine all ingredients, then stir in raisins. Fold in cinnamon - most of the cinnamon will stay on the surface (it doesn't have to be evenly mixed.)
- 5. Pour into buttered baking dish and sprinkle the top with almonds pieces and a little cinnamon. Bake at 350º F for 40-55 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
- 6. SAUCE DIRECTIONS:
- 7. In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the Amaretto and whisk until smooth.
- 8. In a medium saucepan, scald cream over medium heat. Add the Amaretto slurry to the hot cream and whisk constantly. Bring mixture to a boil then reduce heat and cook for 30 seconds, whisking constantly.
- 9. Remove saucepan from the heat and add sugar. Whisk until sugar is dissolved and allow sauce to cool down before serving with bread pudding.
- 10. NOTE: I don't use raisins in this recipe but if you love raisins in your bread pudding then add them. It's good both ways.

Bread pudding is a classic dessert that is loved by many. The addition of amaretto liqueur takes it to the next level by adding a rich, nutty flavor. If you've never made amaretto bread pudding before, there are a few things to keep in mind to make sure it turns out perfectly every time. Here are some valuable tips to keep in mind:
1. Choose the Right Bread
The bread you use is one of the most important factors in making bread pudding. While you can use nearly any type of bread, it's best to use a dense, slightly dry bread like brioche or challah. These breads absorb the custard mixture well without becoming too soggy. Avoid using bread that is too soft or fresh, as they will not hold up as well and might become too mushy.
2. Soak the Bread Overnight
The key to a perfect bread pudding is allowing the bread to soak up the custard mixture. Ideally, you should soak the bread overnight to ensure that it's fully saturated. If you're in a hurry, you can let it soak for at least 30 minutes, but it won't be as flavorful or as firm as it should be.
3. Use Almond Milk
For a more pronounced almond flavor, substitute cow's milk for almond milk in the recipe. This enhances the amaretto flavor and complements the bread pudding beautifully. If you're making a vegan version of the recipe, almond milk is an excellent option.
4. Add the Right Amount of Liqueur
It's tempting to go overboard with the amaretto, but too much liqueur can overpower the other flavors and make the pudding too alcoholic. A general rule of thumb is to use about a quarter cup of amaretto for every six cups of bread cubes. You can adjust the amount based on your taste preferences, but be careful not to go too far.
5. Keep an Eye on the Baking Time
It's important to watch the bread pudding while it's baking to make sure it doesn't overcook. The edges should be slightly browned and the center should be set, but still slightly jiggly when shaken. If you're not sure, you can insert a toothpick into the center of the pudding. If it comes out clean, it's done.
6. Serve with a Sauce
While bread pudding is delicious on its own, serving it with a sauce takes it to the next level. Amaretto sauce is a popular option, as it complements the flavors in the pudding perfectly. You can also try other sauces, such as caramel, chocolate, or berry sauce. Serve the sauce on top of the warm bread pudding and enjoy!
Conclusion
Making the perfect amaretto bread pudding requires a few tips and tricks to ensure that it's flavorful and not too soggy. Choose the right bread, let it soak for long enough, use almond milk to enhance the almond flavor, go easy on the liqueur, watch the baking time, and serve it with a delicious sauce. By following these simple tips, you'll create a dessert that is sure to impress your guests.
