How to Make Drunken Bread Pudding With Amaretto Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Butter an 11x7-inch baking dish.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs and 2 large egg yolks. Whisk in ¾ cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon until well blended.
  4. Whisk in 2 cups heavy cream, 1 cup raisins, and 2 tablespoons amaretto until combined and the sugar has dissolved.
  5. Cut 1 pound day-old croissants or bread into 1-inch cubes.
  6. Add the bread cubes to the egg mixture and gently stir to coat.
  7. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours) to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
  8. Pour the bread and egg mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  9. Pour any remaining egg mixture over the bread.
  10. Sprinkle ½ cup sliced almonds over the top.
  11. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the pudding is set and golden brown.
  12. Let cool slightly before serving.
  13. **Amaretto Sauce:**
  14. In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat.
  15. Add ¼ cup amaretto and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
  16. Cook for 30 seconds. Reduce heat to low and gradually whisk in 2 cups powdered sugar until smooth and dissolved.
  17. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl. Cover and let cool.
  18. Serve the warm bread pudding topped with the amaretto sauce and whipped cream (optional).
