Bread Pudding
1 loaf French bread, at least a day old, cut into 1-inch squares
1 cup raisins (soaked overnight in 1/4 cup bourbon)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup light brown sugar
2 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
4 eggs
3 tablespoons butter (melted)

2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3/4 cup Bourbon or 3/4 cup other whiskey
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1
Bread Pudding:
2
Preheat oven to 350.
3
Place bread in large bowl.
4
Combine the cream, milk, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, butter, and raisins. Wisk to mix.
5
Pour the mixture over bread, and gentle stir to combine.
6
Allow the mixture to sit for 30 minutes, until bread soaks up liquid.
7
Transfer the bread mixture to a 9x13 inch baking pan.
8
Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until set. The pudding is done when the edges start getting a bit brown and pulling away from the edge of the pan.

Bourbon Sauce:
10
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the cream, milk, and sugar.
11
Place the cornstarch and 1/4 cup of the bourbon in a small mixing bowl and whisk to blend.
12
Pour into the cream mixture and bring to a boil.
13
Once the sauce begins to boil, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
14
Remove the sauce from the heat, add the salt, and stir in the butter and the remaining 1/2 cup of bourbon.
15
Serve warm.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
