How to Make Jack Daniels Bread Pudding
- **Prepare the Bread:** Lightly grease two deep-dish casserole pans (approximately 9x13 inches). Fill each pan with a mixture of 6 cups toasted bread cubes and 1 cup raisins.
- **Make the Custard:** In a medium saucepan, heat 4 cups whole milk and 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter over medium heat until butter is melted and milk is warm.
- **Whisk Dry Ingredients:** In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups granulated sugar, 6 large eggs, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- **Combine Wet and Dry:** Gradually whisk 1 cup of the warm milk mixture into the egg mixture. Then, pour the egg mixture into the remaining warm milk mixture, whisking constantly until well combined.
- **Assemble the Pudding:** Pour the custard evenly over the bread and raisins in the prepared casserole pans.
- **Bake:** Place the casserole pans in a larger baking pan. Pour enough hot water into the larger pan to come at least halfway up the sides of the casserole pans (this creates a water bath for even baking). Cover the pans tightly with aluminum foil.
- **Initial Baking:** Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 60 minutes.
- **Brown and Finish:** Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the pudding is nicely browned and set.
- **Prepare the Cream Sauce (Double the recipe):** While the pudding bakes, combine 1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup Jack Daniel's whiskey, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer until thickened to your desired consistency (about 10-15 minutes). Stir frequently to prevent scorching.
- **Serve:** Pour the warm cream sauce generously over the bread pudding. Serve immediately, topped with vanilla ice cream and extra sauce or a drizzle of heavy cream.
