How to Make Irish Cream Bread Pudding With Caramel Irish Cream Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 13x9 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, crumble 1 loaf (about 1 pound) of day-old bread, crusts included, into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 cups whole milk, 1 cup heavy cream, ½ cup Baileys Irish Cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Pour the milk mixture over the crumbled bread, gently stirring to combine. Let it sit for at least 1 hour, or until the bread has absorbed most of the liquid.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and frothy.
  6. Gently fold the egg mixture into the bread mixture, along with ½ cup raisins.
  7. Pour the bread pudding mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the pudding is set and golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  9. **Prepare the Caramel Sauce:** In a medium saucepan, combine ½ cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons water. Cook over medium heat, without stirring, until the sugar dissolves and turns into a light amber caramel.
  10. Carefully whisk in 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, stirring constantly until it melts and is fully incorporated.
  11. Remove from heat and slowly whisk in ¼ cup heavy cream (be cautious of splattering!). Add more cream if needed to adjust the consistency.
  12. Stir in 2 tablespoons Baileys Irish Cream and a pinch of sea salt.
  13. Let the caramel sauce cool slightly before serving.
  14. Serve warm bread pudding topped generously with the caramel sauce.
