Jack And Cola Bread Pudding With Whiskey Ice Cream Food

NEW ORLEANS STYLE BREAD PUDDING WITH WHISKEY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the bread in a large bowl. Grease a 9 by 13-inch casserole dish with the remaining tablespoon of butter and set aside.
• Combine the heavy cream, milk, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and raisins in a large bowl. Whisk to mix. Pour the cream mixture over the bread, and stir to combine. Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes.
• Transfer the bread mixture to the casserole dish and bake until the center of the bread pudding is set, 50 to 60 minutes.
• Garnish the bread pudding with confectioners' sugar and serve warm with warm Whiskey Sauce.
• In a 1-quart saucepan set over medium heat, combine the cream, milk, and sugar. Place the cornstarch and 1/4 cup of the bourbon in a small mixing bowl and whisk to blend and make a slurry. Pour the slurry into the cream mixture and bring to a boil. Once the sauce begins to boil, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat, add the salt, and stir in the butter and the remaining 1/2 cup of bourbon. Serve warm.

WHISKEY BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk the eggs until well blended. Add the sugar and mix in then add the vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, butter, and cream. Lay the bread cubes in a 8 by 8 inch square baking dish, sprinkle the nuts and raisins around, and then pour the custard over the bread. Cover the dish and let it soak overnight in the refrigerator.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cover the dish with foil and poke holes in it. Bake until bread pudding souffled up, about 40 minutes then remove the foil, and bake another 10 minutes to brown lightly.
• For the sauce, in a saucepan heat the cream, sugar, cinnamon, and butter together until almost boiling. Meanwhile, mix the cornstarch with the whiskey and stir it into the hot liquid. Bring just to a boil to thicken it.
• To serve, pour a few spoonfuls of the whiskey sauce on a dessert plate. Scoop out the desired portion size of the pudding, placing it on the sauced plate. Dust the pudding with powdered sugar and finish it off with a dollop of whipped cream.
• Notes about the recipe: This is a restaurant recipe so uses leftover bread. Save the crusts and dry them in a low oven, then grind them in a food processor to make bread crumbs.

CHOCOLATE WHISKEY ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Whisk together egg yolks, whiskey and 1/4 cup sugar in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• In a large saucepan, whisk together cream, vanilla bean, vanilla seeds and 1/4 cup of sugar. Simmer over low heat until the chocolate is melted. Temper egg yolk mixture by slowly adding hot cream mixture to the egg yolk mixture, with a ladle, a little at a time. Once egg yolk mixture is thoroughly warmed add to the saucepan with the warm cream mixture. Stir until thickened and remove from the heat.
• Strain mixture into a bowl over ice. Place the bowl into the refrigerator for at least 45 minutes. Once cooled, fold in the chocolate chips. Spin in an ice cream maker for 20 minutes until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

CHOCOLATE BREAD PUDDING WITH SPICED CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 6-cup loaf pan (9 1/4 by 5 1/4 by 2 3/4) with the butter. Whisk the eggs, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, melted chocolate, and Grand Marnier together in a large mixing bowl until very smooth. Add the half-and-half and mix well. Add the bread and let the mixture sit for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour half the mixture into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the top with the unmelted chocolate chips. Pour the remaining bread mixture over the chocolate chips. Bake until the pudding is set in the center, about 55 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes. To serve, cut the pudding into 1-inch thick slices. Top with the spiced cream.
• Beat the cream with an electric mixer on high speed in a large mixing bowl for about 2 minutes. Add the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, and beat again until the mixture thickens and forms stiff peaks, another 1 to 2 minutes.

JACK DANIELS BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Pudding:.
• Lightly grease deep dish casserole pans.
• Fill with toasted bread cubes and raisins mixed together.
• Heat milk and butter in pan over medium heat.
• Whisk sugar, eggs, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt. Add 1 cup of the heated milk mixture to this, then mix this into the hot milk mixture. Pour over the bread and raisins. Put your casserole dish (I use two 9x13 inch casseroles and bake one at a time) with the pudding into a deeper pan that has at least an inch of water in it, and cover with foil.
• Bake at 350°F for one hour. Remove foil and place back in oven for an additional 15 minutes, or until nicely browned. Pour cream sauce over the pudding and keep warm in oven until time to serve.
• Cream Sauce (I make this while the pudding is cooking):.
• Combine all ingredients into a large saucepan and heat to boiling. Turn heat down to low and allow to reduce to consistency of your liking.
• I double the sauce recipe so I can have some to pour over the pudding and ice cream when I serve it.
• Serve hot with either ice cream and extra sauce or with heavy cream drizzled over it.
