Irish Cream Bread Pudding With Caramel Irish Cream Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
• Butter one 2-quart casserole dish.
• Prepare a water bath for the 2-quart casserole dish by placing a larger dish with water in the oven.
• Place bread cubes in the 2-quart casserole dish.
• Beat together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla.
• Slowly add the scalded milk and Bailey's Irish Cream.
• Pour over the bread.
• If desired, sprinkle with brown sugar, nutmeg, and raisins.
• Place the casserole in the water bath and bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.
• Server either hot or chilled.
• When You take the pudding out of the oven, if the pudding seems to be dry, you can sprinkle some Bailey's over the top to help make it moist.

Steps:

• For sauce:
• Bring cream, liqueur, sugar, and vanilla to boil in heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Mix cornstarch and 2 teaspoons water in small bowl to blend; whisk into cream mixture. Boil until sauce thickens, stirring constantly, about 3 minutes. Cool, then cover and refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
• For bread pudding:
• Combine bread, chocolate, and white chocolate in large bowl; toss to blend. Using electric mixer, beat eggs, 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, and vanilla in another large bowl to blend. Gradually beat in 1 1/2 cups cream and milk. Add cream mixture to bread mixture; stir to combine. Let stand 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish with nonstick spray. Transfer bread mixture to prepared dish, spreading evenly. Drizzle with remaining 1/2 cup cream. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Bake pudding until edges are golden and custard is set in center, about 1 hour. Cool pudding slightly.
• Drizzle bread pudding with sauce and serve warm.

Steps:

• Swirl sugar and water together in a heavy saucepan until the sugar dissolves. Place over medium-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture turns a uniform honey-brown color. Remove from heat.
• Pour a tablespoon or two of the cream into the caramel, standing back from the pan, because the mixture may spatter. Stir to blend in the cream, then add the remaining cream, stirring until completely mixed.
• Stir in the whisky, transfer the mixture to a jar or other container and refrigerate until ready to use. The sauce may be warmed before using but it will not be as thick as if it is chilled. Serve over ice cream, crepes, cake or puddings.
