Amaretto Eggnog Bread Pudding Recipes

AMARETTO BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Place bread cubes, half and half, sugar, eggs, almond extract and almonds in large mixing bowl.
• Mix until well combined.
• Pour mixture into a buttered 9 x 13 inch pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees F.
• for 35 minutes or until set.
• When pudding is almost finished baking, place butter in a saucepan and melt slowly.
• Add powdered sugar and beaten egg.
• Mix quickly so that the egg doesn't cook before it is incorporated.
• Cook until smooth and incorporated.
• Add almond liqueur.
• Cut pudding into 12 squares and serve warm with warmed sauce and whipping cream.
• NOTE: I found it easier to mix all liquids and sugar together first, then add bread.

PANETTONE BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Trim the dark brown outer crust from the panettone (optional). Cut the rest of the loaf in 1-inch cubes and place on a sheet pan in a single layer. Toast the panettone for 10 minutes, until lightly browned.
• Grease a 9 by 12 by 2-inch baking dish with the butter. Place the panettone cubes in the baking dish.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, egg yolks, half-and-half, vanilla and almond extracts and sugar. Pour this custard mixture over the panettone. Set aside for 10 minutes so the bread soaks up the custard. Scatter the sliced almonds over the top of the pudding.
• Place the baking dish into a larger pan and add very hot tap water to the larger pan until it's halfway up the side of the baking dish. Cover the larger pan with aluminum foil, tenting the foil so it doesn't touch the pudding. Cut a few holes in the foil to allow steam to escape. Bake the pudding for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake for 40 to 45 more minutes, until the custard is set and the top of the pudding is light golden brown. Allow to cool for 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

PANETTONE BREAD PUDDING WITH AMARETTO SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the sauce: Bring the cream, milk, and sugar to a boil in a heavy small saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently. In a small bowl, mix the amaretto and cornstarch to blend and then whisk into the cream mixture. Simmer over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes. Set aside and keep warm. (The amaretto sauce can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm before serving.)
• To make the bread pudding: Lightly butter a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish. Arrange the bread cubes in the prepared dish. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, cream, milk, and sugar to blend. Pour the custard over the bread cubes, and press the bread cubes gently to submerge. Let stand for 30 minutes, occasionally pressing the bread cubes into the custard mixture. (Recipe can be prepared up to this point 2 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bake until the pudding puffs and is set in the center, about 45 minutes. Cool slightly. Spoon the bread pudding into bowls, drizzle with the warm amaretto sauce, and serve.
