Pecan Bourbon And Butterscotch Bread Pudding Recipes

BOURBON BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Butter a 13 by 9-inch baking dish, and put the cubed brioche in it. Sprinkle with the pecans.
• Whisk together the half-and-half, milk, eggs, butter, brown sugar, bourbon, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg in a large bowl.
• Pour the custard mixture over the bread in the baking dish, giving the bread a stir to make sure it's coated. Let the pudding sit for 1 hour, so the bread can fully absorb the milk.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Once it is ready, put the dish in the oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until puffy and set. Remove, and let stand 10 minutes before serving. This is absolutely lovely when served with some fresh whipped cream.

BUTTERSCOTCH-PECAN BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Place bread, pecans and butterscotch chips in a greased 4-qt. slow cooker. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, cream, brown sugar, melted butter and vanilla until blended.

BREAD PUDDING WITH BOURBON PECAN SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Bourbon Pecan Sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter; add sugar, water and egg, whisking to blend well.
• 2. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. (Do not allow to simmer, or it may curdle.)
• 3. Whisk in moonshine or bourbon to taste. Remove from heat and add toasted pecans. Whisk before serving.
• 4. The sauce should be soft, creamy, and smooth. I like the sauce warm but not hot.
• 5. Bread Pudding: Preheat oven to 350°F.
• 6. Soak the bread in the heavy cream in a large mixing bowl. Stir with hands until well mixed and all the cream is absorbed. If you think the mixture looks too dry, add a few tablespoons more of the heavy cream or milk.
• 7. In a separate bowl, beat eggs, sugar, vanilla, and spices together. Gently stir into the bread mixture.
• 8. Gently stir the raisins and coconut into the mixture.
• 9. Grease bottom and sides of a 9x13 inch baking dish/pan with butter. Pour in the bread mix and bake at 350°F for 35-45 minutes, until set. The pudding is done when the edges start getting a bit brown and pull away from the edge of the pan. Can also make in individual ramekins.
• 10. Serve with bourbon pecan sauce on the side; pour on to taste. Best fresh and eaten the day it is made.

CHOCOLATE BREAD PUDDING WITH BOURBON PECAN SAUCE

Steps:

• To make sauce: stir 1 1/4 cups sugar and water in heavy large saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Mix in corn syrup and lemon juice. Increase heat and boil without stirring until syrup turns deep amber, brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush and swirling pan occasionally. Remove from heat; pour in 1 1/4 cups cream (mixture will bubble up), stir over low heat until caramel is melted and smooth. Increase heat and boil until sauce is reduced to 1 2/3 cups, stirring often, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat; mix in pecans and bourbon.
• To make pudding: preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine milk, 2 cups cream, and 1 cup sugar in heavy large saucepan over medium high heat, stir until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to boil. Remove from heat, add chocolate, and stir until smooth.
• Beat eggs and vanilla in large bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in chocolate mixture; add bread cubes and let stand until bread absorbs some of the custard, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. Transfer mixture to a 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Cover with foil.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until set in center, about 45 minutes. Serve pudding warm or at room temperature with warm sauce.
