Creole Bread Pudding With Bourbon Sauce image

This recipe is positively delicious and quite good as a plain bread pudding (without the added sauce).

BREAD PUDDING
24 oz evaporated milk
6 large eggs
1 c water
1 tsp ground cinnamon
16 oz loaf day-old french bread, cubed
8 oz can crushed pineapple, drained
1 large red delicious apple, unpeeled and grated
1 1/2 c granulated sugar
1 c raisins
5 Tbsp vanilla extract
1/4 c butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes and softened
BOURBON SAUCE:
3 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1 c whipping cream
1/2 c granulated sugar
2 Tbsp bourbon
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • 2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the evaporated milk, eggs, water and cinnamon until well blended. Add bread cubes, stirring to coat thoroughly. Stir in pineapple, grated apple, sugar, raisins and vanilla extract. Stir in melted butter, blending well.
  • 3. Pour into a greased 13x9-inch baking dish. Bake at 350° for 35 to 45 minutes or until set and crust is golden. Remove from oven, and let stand 2 minutes.
  • 4. For the Bourbon Sauce (which I prepared while the bread pudding was baking), melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat; whisk in flour, and cook, whisking constantly, for 5 minutes. Stir in cream and sugar; cook, whisking constantly, for 3 minutes or until thickened. Stir in bourbon, vanilla, and nutmeg; cook, whisking constantly, 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
  • 5. Spoon Bourbon Sauce over each serving of Creole Bread Pudding.
