Bread pudding and Hot Butter El Dorado Rum Sauce

Bread pudding and Hot Butter El Dorado Rum Sauce

INGREDIENTS

Pudding:

  • 7-8 cups torn or cubed French bread
  • 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 3 cups milk
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2/3 cup raisins
  • 1/4 cup El Dorado 12 Year Old Rum, divided
  • 4 beaten eggs

Sauce:

  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter



INSTRUCTIONS

1. For the bread pudding, cut or tear bread into pieces and place in a large bowl. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt brown sugar, milk, butter,  cinnamon, vanilla, raisins, and 2 1/2 tablespoons rum. Stir constantly until sugar is dissolved. Pour over bread and allow to soak for 30 minutes.

2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add 4 beaten eggs to the soaked bread mixture and stir gently. The bread should be completely saturated with the egg and milk mixture. Pour into a buttered 9-inch square baking dish and bake for 40-50 minutes until the top is browned and the middle is set. Do not overbake or the bread pudding will become dry.

3. For the sauce, melt the heavy cream, white sugar, and butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Do not boil or the mixture will start to crystallize. When sugar has dissolved, add 1 1/2 tablespoons rum. Pour the warm sauce over each slice of bread pudding before serving.
