6
Add the eggs one at a time, alternating with the milk and stirring well so that each egg is incorporated before adding the next one.
7
Do this until all the eggs and milk are used.
8
Stir in the vanilla and vodka.
9
Fold in the white chocolate chunks and cherries.
10
Pour into a buttered 2 quart cassarole dish.
11
Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly across the top of bread mixture.
12
I grated an additional 1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg over the top as well.
13
Bake in a preheated 350* oven for 1 hour.
14
Let cool 20 to 30 minutes as pudding will set firmer as it cools.
15
Can be served warm or chilled.
16
I love it warm with vanilla bean ice cream or a dollop of sweetned whipped cream.

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.
