Last Saturday night's dinner had a rather special conclusion: New Orleans pecan pie bread pudding with whiskey butter sauce. With all that round challah I'd made looking for some clever employment, bread pudding seemed like the smart move for using it all up in a fell swoop. Cut into cubes and staled up a bit on the counter, those heavenly morsels soaked up the sweet creamy custard like gangbusters. While it ended up being far from my best bread pudding to date, that whiskey butter sauce is quite capable of covering all manner of sins.
Recipe was an amalgamation of two different versions of bread pudding:
- "New Orleans Pecan Pie Bread Pudding," from Marzia Aziz of Little Spice Jar. [Published 14 November 2016 / Updated 17 May 2020]
- "Emeril's New Orleans Style Bread Pudding," from Emeril Legasse.
"Whiskey Sauce," based on a recipe from Mimi's Cafe. [Recipe no longer available on Mimi's website.]
