Bourbon Banana Bread Pudding with Caramel Sauce and Glazed Pecans

Serves: 6

Ingredients

Bread Pudding

 
• 5 cups stale sweet bread, cubed
• 2 ripe bananas, mashed
• 3 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups whole milk
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup bourbon
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 cup chopped Stuckey’s Kettle Glazed Pecans

Caramel Sauce

 
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• Pinch of sea salt

Directions

 
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, cream, bourbon, banana, sugar, and cinnamon. Fold in bread cubes and pecans.
3. Let sit for 15 minutes, then pour into a buttered baking dish. Bake for 40–45 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, make caramel: melt sugar, stir in butter, then cream and salt. Simmer until smooth.
5. Drizzle warm sauce over the bread pudding. Garnish with whole glazed pecans.

While it’s warm and straight from the oven, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream sprinkled with cinnamon. Leftovers? Slice, sear in butter, and call it breakfast. No judgment here.
