How to Make Panettone Bread Pudding With Amaretto Sauce

  1. **Make the Amaretto Sauce:**
  2. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup whole milk, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
  3. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup Amaretto and 1 tablespoon cornstarch until smooth.
  5. Gradually whisk the Amaretto mixture into the simmering cream mixture.
  6. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens (about 2 minutes).
  7. Set aside and keep warm.
  8. **Make the Bread Pudding:**
  9. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  10. Lightly butter a 13x9x2-inch baking dish.
  11. Arrange 6 cups of cubed day-old Panettone in the prepared dish.
  12. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup whole milk, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar.
  13. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the panettone cubes, gently pressing down to submerge the bread.
  14. Let stand for 30 minutes, occasionally pressing down on the bread to ensure even absorption of the custard.
  15. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the pudding is puffed and set in the center and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  16. Let cool slightly before serving.
  17. Spoon the bread pudding into bowls, drizzle generously with the warm amaretto sauce, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
