Steps:

• While the processor is running crack 5 eggs into the mixture. Turn off the mixer and scrape down the sides. Add the heavy cream and pulse to combine.
• Lightly butter a 9 by 13-inch baking dish. Break up the croissants into 1-inch pieces and layer in the pan. Scatter the raisins and shaved bittersweet chocolate over the top, and gently mix to incorporate. Pour the egg mixture over the croissants; soak for 8 to 10 minutes. You will need to push croissants pieces down during this time to ensure even coverage by egg mixture.

SPICY CARAMEL ICE CREAM WITH BOURBON MAPLE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large stockpot, heat the cream to 160°, being careful not to boil. While cream heats, in a large bowl whisk your egg yolks and sugar together until smooth. Add a 1/2 cup of the heated cream, while constantly whisking. Continue adding the cream in small increments while whisking until the mixture is smooth and tempered. Run through a fine mesh strainer or chinois to catch any shells or cooked egg pieces. Cool down mixture quickly in an ice bath, and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Ice cream turns out better if this is refrigerated overnight. Over a double boiler, combine the dulce de leche and nutmeg, whisking until the caramel has liquified and is very smooth and without lumps. Slowly whisk in the ice cream base until the mixture is even in color with no caramel chunks. Run the mixture through a strainer and chill before preparing according to your ice cream maker. While ice cream mixes, combine the bourbon and maple syrup in a small saucepan, and bring to a slow boil. Simmer for 2 minutes. In a small bowl, combine the corn starch and water, and mix with a spatula to make a slurry. While bourbon and syrup continue to simmer, slowly drizzle the slurry into the saucepan, while constantly whisking. Turn heat back up and allow mixture to slowly boil until it will coat the back of a spoon. Cool in an ice bath before refrigerating. If mixture ends up runny, make more corn starch/water mixture and boil it into the sauce again. Lightly drizzle sauce over the caramel ice cream for a perfectly spicy and balanced dessert.

GRILLED BANANAS WITH ICE CREAM AND BOURBON-CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine brown sugar, cream, butter, and honey in heavy large saucepan. Scrape in vanilla seeds; add beans. Stir mixture over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and boil gently until sauce coats spoon thickly and is reduced to 3 2/3 cups, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes. Mix in bourbon. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Cut unpeeled bananas in half lengthwise. Arrange, cut side up, on baking sheet. Brush cut sides with caramel sauce. Place bananas, still cut side up, on grill rack. Close barbecue; grill until peels are slightly charred and fruit is tender and beginning to come away from peel, about 4 minutes. Place 1 banana half, cut side up, on each plate. Top each with ice cream, warm caramel sauce, and pecans.
