To Die For Bread Pudding Recipe

Ingredients:

For the bread pudding:

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
  • 20 slices of wheat bread, cubed into 1-inch pieces

For the glaze:

  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1.5 tablespoons rum (or other favorite liquor)

Directions:

  1. Prepare the slow cooker: Spray the inside of the slow cooker with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the custard: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir in the milk, heavy cream, vanilla, and melted butter until fully combined.
  3. Add the bread: Fold in the cubed bread until the bread is fully moistened by the custard mixture.
  4. Add the mix-ins: Gently fold in the butterscotch chips, raisins, and chopped pecans.
  5. Cook the pudding: Place the bread mixture into the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 2 hours, or until the center is firm. Once cooked, let the bread pudding stand for 30 minutes with the lid on.
  6. Prepare the glaze (optional): In a saucepan, melt the butter, sugar, and heavy cream together over medium heat, stirring constantly. Do not let it boil. Once smooth, stir in the rum.
  7. Serve: Serve the bread pudding warm, drizzled with the rum glaze, or with a dollop of whipped cream if desired.

This To Die For Bread Pudding is rich, sweet, and incredibly comforting. The slow cooker makes it easy to prepare, while the butterscotch chips, raisins, and pecans add texture and flavor to every bite. Enjoy this dessert warm with the optional rum glaze for a truly indulgent treat!
