How to Make Butter Rum Yum

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a blender, combine ginger, cinnamon, cloves (if using), 2 cups milk, eggs, and 1/2 cup shredded coconut. Blend until completely smooth.
  3. Pour the blended mixture into a large mixing bowl. Add heavy cream, 3/4 cup packed brown sugar, vanilla extract, melted butter, and remaining 1/2 cup shredded coconut.
  4. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  5. Add the cubed bread and stir gently until the bread is evenly moistened.
  6. Pour the bread mixture into a greased 10x13 inch baking pan.
  7. Bake for 1 hour, or until the pudding is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
  9. While the pudding is baking, prepare the butter rum raisin sauce: In a saucepan, combine 1 cup water and raisins. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  10. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let the raisins soak until plump (about 10-15 minutes).
  11. Strain the water from the raisins into a heatproof measuring cup. Add water if needed to measure 1/2 cup of liquid.
  12. Return the liquid to the saucepan. Add remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar and 2 tablespoons butter.
  13. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.
  14. Remove from heat and stir in rum and plumped raisins.
  15. Keep warm until serving.
  16. Prepare the sweetened coconut cream: In a small bowl, combine sour cream, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  17. To serve, cut the pudding into 12 equal pieces.
  18. Spoon some butter rum raisin sauce over each serving.
  19. Top with a dollop of sweetened coconut cream and sprinkle with shredded coconut.
  20. Turn on some Caribbean music and enjoy!
