Ingredients:

3 cups baguette (french bread)
600g
3 cups milk (2% fat)
600g
3 eggs
170g
1/2 cup sugar
100g
1 tsp vanilla extract
5g
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2.50g
1/4 cup raisins
50g
1/2 cup butter
100g
1/2 cup brown sugar
100g
1/4 cup whiskey
50g

Instructions:

1. Prepare custard: Whisk together milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon.
2. Soak bread: Place bread cubes in a greased baking dish, pour custard over, and let soak for 15 minutes to absorb. Stir in raisins if using.
3. Bake: Preheat oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Bake pudding for 40–45 minutes until the custard is set and top is golden.
4. Make whiskey sauce: Melt butter in a small pan, stir in brown sugar until dissolved. Add whiskey and simmer for 2–3 minutes until glossy.
5. Serve: Pour sauce over pudding and serve warm.

Tips:

- Bread choice: Brioche or challah gives a rich texture, but any sturdy bread works.

- Flavor boost: Add chopped pecans, chocolate chips, or orange zest.

- Advance prep: Assemble pudding ahead of time and refrigerate; bake just before serving.

This whiskey bread pudding proves that dessert doesn’t need to be complicated to be delicious. It’s hearty, satisfying, and endlessly customizable. Serve it with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the ultimate comfort food experience.
