Raisin Bread Pudding | THMorningMonday

As the autumn leaves begin to fall, there’s nothing quite like the aroma of a warm, comforting dessert wafting through the house. Here’s an elevated version of the classic recipe, perfect for creating those cozy family moments around the dinner table.

Ingredients

  • 6 cups day-old bread, cubed
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp bourbon
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the bread cubes and raisins. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, bourbon, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well blended.
  4. Pour the egg mixture over the bread and raisins. Gently stir to ensure all bread pieces are coated.
  5. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes, allowing the bread to soak up the custard.
  6. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
  8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes.

Serving Suggestion

Serve this delightful pudding warm, straight from the oven. The bourbon and vanilla infuse the dish with a rich, comforting aroma that’s sure to bring the family running to the table. For an extra touch of indulgence, drizzle each serving with a bit of warm caramel sauce or a dollop of freshly whipped cream.

As you gather around the table, watch faces light up with the first spoonful of this heavenly dessert. The soft, custard-soaked bread, punctuated by plump, sweet raisins, creates a texture and flavor combination that’s simply irresistible.
