banana bourbon bread pudding
Rich, gooey and a little bit boozy.
Ingredients:
For the Bread Pudding
6 cups day-old bread (French bread or brioche, cubed)
3 ripe bananas, mashed or sliced
4 large eggs
2 cups whole milk (or almond milk for dairy-free)
1 cup heavy cream (optional for richness, or use more milk)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup bourbon
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
Pinch of salt
Bourbon Sauce
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2-3 tbsp bourbon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Preparation:
Prepare the Bread and Bananas
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Spread the bread cubes evenly in the dish.
- Mix in mashed or sliced bananas.
Make the Custard
- In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, bourbon, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
Combine and Soak
- Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread and bananas.
- Gently press the bread down to ensure it soaks up the liquid.
- Let it sit for 15-20 minutes to absorb the custard.
Bake
- Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes
- Remove foil and bake an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and the pudding is set (a knife inserted in the center should come out clean)
Make the Bourbon Sauce
- While the pudding bakes, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Add brown sugar and stir until dissolved. Stir in heavy cream, bourbon, and vanilla.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes, until smooth and slightly thickened.
Serve
- Drizzle the warm bourbon sauce over the bread pudding and serve immediately.
- Add whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
