Bread Pudding

Whiskey Caramel Sauce

Method

Bread Pudding

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the brioche bread into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    Add the dried Bing cherries to the bowl with the bread. In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, whiskey, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the milk mixture over the bread and cherries, ensuring all pieces are soaked. Let it sit for about 15 minutes until the bread absorbs the liquid.

  4. 4

    Bake the Pudding

    Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

  5. 5

    Cool

    Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

Whiskey Caramel Sauce

  1. 6

    Make the Caramel

    In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Cook over medium heat without stirring until the sugar dissolves and turns a rich amber color.

  2. 7

    Add Cream and Whiskey

    Remove from heat and carefully whisk in the heavy cream, followed by the whiskey and a pinch of salt. Return to low heat and stir until smooth.

Whipped Cream

  1. 8

    Whip the Cream

    In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to whip until soft peaks form.
