How to Make Julianna's Junk It N Awlins Bread Pudding
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine: 4 cups stale bread, cubed; 1/2 cup peanut butter; 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips; 1/2 cup butterscotch chips; 1/2 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts recommended); 1/2 cup shredded coconut; 1/2 cup raisins; 1/4 cup dried cranberries.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together: 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar; 2 cups whole milk; 1 cup heavy cream; 4 large eggs; 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter; 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon; 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients, gently mixing until the bread is evenly moistened. The mixture should be moist but not soupy.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 65-75 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the bread pudding bakes, prepare the whiskey sauce:
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup unsalted butter and 1/4 cup granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir constantly until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.
- Remove from heat and whisk in 1 large egg yolk.
- Gradually whisk in 2-4 tablespoons of bourbon (or to taste), stirring constantly until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Let the sauce cool slightly.
- Serve the warm bread pudding topped generously with the whiskey sauce.
