Dr. Clothiers Pecan Praline Bread Pudding
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup bourbon (for sauce)
- 1/4 cup cream (for sauce)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for sauce)
- 1/2 stick butter, unsalted (for sauce)
- 2 cups pralines, crumbled
- 1 baguette (any crusty bread will do. you need about 6 cups of crusty bread cut into 1 inch cubes.)
- pinch nutmeg, ground
- 4 cups cream
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
Whisk together eggs, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla extract.
Next whisk in 4 cups of cream.
Fold the bread cubes into the liquid and let it soak in a refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Fold in 2 cups of the crumbled pralines and transfer to a 9" x 13" baking dish.
Bake in a 350° for about an hour or until done. The time may depend on the dryness of the bread. Dr. Clothier likes to use the “jiggle test.” Shake the dish to see if there is any jiggle to the pudding. It should be fairly solid. You can also test for doneness by inserting a toothpick. It's ready when the toothpick comes out reasonably clean.
While the pudding is baking make the sauce. Place ingredients in a heavy bottom saucepan and heat to a low boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and continue to cook until sauce is smooth and thickened.
Pour sauce over baked bread pudding right before serving.
Notes
Time to prepare: 3 hours, 30 minutes.

Good morning. I'm hoping someone has an answer for me. I live in Hampton, Virginia and I've never seen pralines here. Does anyone know where I might find them between Virginia Beach and Richmond?
