How to Make Bread Pudding With Vanilla Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Butter a deep 2-3 quart baking dish.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup packed brown sugar, and ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  4. Stir in ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter and 1 cup heavy cream.
  5. Add 4 cups cubed stale bread (challah or brioche recommended) and ½ cup raisins.
  6. Gently toss to coat the bread evenly with the custard mixture.
  7. Pour the bread pudding mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  8. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. During the last 30 minutes of baking, cover the dish loosely with foil to prevent over-browning.
  10. Let the bread pudding stand for 10 minutes before serving.
  11. While the pudding bakes, prepare the vanilla sauce:
  12. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk together 1 cup heavy cream (18%), ¼ cup whipping cream, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons cornstarch.
  13. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens (about 10 minutes).
  14. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  15. Serve the warm bread pudding generously drizzled with the vanilla sauce. Enjoy!
