Bread Pudding

Pecan Praline Rum Sauce

Method

Preparing the Bread Pudding

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Tear the stale bread into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine

    Pour the wet mixture over the bread pieces and let it soak for about 15 minutes. Gently fold in the chopped pecans.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish and bake for 45-50 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Making the Pecan Praline Rum Sauce

  1. 5

    Cook the Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar and butter. Stir until melted and bubbly.

  2. 6

    Add Cream and Rum

    Slowly stir in the heavy cream and dark rum. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes until thickened.

  3. 7

    Finish the Sauce

    Remove from heat and stir in the chopped pecans. Let it cool slightly before serving.
