CREAMY MAPLE BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 1 1/2-quart casserole or baking dish.
• Place the bread cubes into the prepared pan. Whisk the eggs, milk, cream, syrup, sugar, flavoring, nutmeg, and salt together. Pour over the bread cubes and let sit for 15 minutes to absorb the liquid. Press the cubes down into the liquid if the edges are dry.
• Bake the pudding for 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the nuts and sugar. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, until the pudding has puffed up and is light brown around the edges. Remove from the oven and let stand for a few minutes-the pudding will sink as it sits; that's OK. Serve immediately, or reheat before serving.

MAPLE PUDDING WITH BOURBON WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• In a medium pot set over medium-low heat combine the milk, maple syrup, cream, salt, vanilla bean and seeds. Give it a good stir and heat until it just starts to bubble.
• In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cornstarch, and mix together with a fork. Slowly sprinkle the cornstarch mixture into the heated cream while constantly whisking.
• Whisk the egg yolks in a medium bowl. Slowly pour about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture into the eggs to temper them. Whisk the egg mixture into the hot milk. While continuously stirring, cook on low heat until the mixture thickens to the consistency of thick pancake batter, 6 to 7 minutes. Turn the heat off, and slowly whisk in the butter. Remove the vanilla pod.
• Transfer the pudding to a clean bowl and place a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of the pudding (this eliminates a film forming on the pudding). Cool to room temperature then chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Spoon the pudding into serving cups and top with some Bourbon Whipped Cream, then serve.
• In a large, chilled metal bowl combine the cream and sugar. Using a hand mixer fitted with a whisk, whip until soft peaks form. Pour in the bourbon and continue to whip until the cream is stiff, but not over-whipped.
