Ingredients
- 6-7 cups Stale Bread cut in 1 inch cubes
- 1 1/2 cups Milk
- 3 Eggs
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 TBS Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 cup Raisins
Brown Sugar Whiskey Sauce
- 4 TBS Butter
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- 2 oz Jack Daniels Whiskey or any comparable whiskey
- 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
Instructions
- preheat oven to 375 degrees
- Cut bread in large cubes and set aside.
- In a large bowl combine all other ingredients except the raisins.
- Pour liquid over the bread and dump the raisins on top. Gently toss until the bread is coated and the raisins are evenly distributed.
- Prepare a baking dish with butter or pan spray and pour bread mixture on top. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until sides pull away the pan. Let cool at least 20 minutes before cutting.
Brown Sugar Whiskey Sauce
- . In a heavy sauce pan add butter and brown sugar and place on medium low heat. Stir until the butter is melted with the sugar.
- Add the whiskey to the pan. Be careful as the whiskey WILL flame up so turn your heat down low and let the alcohol cook out of the whiskey for a few seconds. Remove from the heat if this scares you (the sauce will just be a little bit stronger since the alcohol won’t cook down as much… not that that is a bad thing!)
- Slowly stir in heavy cream once the flames have disappeared from the pan. Turn to medium low heat until the sauce is lightly bubbling, for 10 minutes. Serve warm with the bread pudding or your favorite dessert or ice cream.

Notes
This dessert is just delicious. It has so many components and they each stand out on their own, but the recipe is quite simple and straight forward. The sauce is the show stopper though. It is so deep, delicious, sweet and you want more. The whiskey flavor is very subtle, but as you lick the last bits of sauce from your plate you will taste it ever so slightly. The funny thing about this dessert is that the same group of friends from the BBQ are coming over for dinner tomorrow and this is what I will be serving for dessert. Little do they know that dessert consists of the leftover hot dog buns that they didn’t want! It’s the circle of life.. er, I mean food.
