DRUNKEN RAISIN BREAD PUDDING WITH WHISKEY CREAM SAUCE

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

whiskey

🥗Healthier: non-alcoholic whiskey flavoring

💰Cheaper: bourbon

Bourbon can be more affordable while providing similar flavor

Soak golden raisins in bourbon for about 20 seconds in the microwave to plump them up.

Butter a 9 by 13 casserole dish with 1 to 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter.

Tear a whole loaf of French bread into rustic chunks and toast them in the oven at 250-275°F for about 10-15 minutes.

In a large bowl, whisk together 4 cups of whole milk, 2 cups of heavy cream, and 6 large eggs until combined.

Add 1 cup of brown sugar, several teaspoons of vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt to the egg mixture and whisk until incorporated.

Pour the cream mixture over the toasted bread and gently stir to combine, ensuring all bread is soaked.

Let the mixture sit for about 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
