  • 1 ½ cups whole milk
  • 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract

  • ¼ cup Bourbon
  • 1 tbsp flour

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg until combined.
  2. Soak the Bread: Place cubed French bread in a large bowl. Gradually pour the wet mixture over the bread and let it soak in the fridge for 2 hours.

  5. Finish and Serve: Pour the bourbon caramel sauce over the bread pudding. Serve warm with ice cream, whipped cream, or berries.

Notes

  • You can customize the pudding by adding raisins, nuts, or chocolate chips to the bread mixture before baking.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, you can omit the Bourbon in the caramel sauce.
