Hello gorgeous Bread Pudding! Â Why do you visit so seldomly?
So simple and humble, so comforting and delightful, yet always leaving my family and guests with united sighs of âm-mmmâs and a-hhhâsâ on top of tears of gratitude and joy for your rare presence on the table.
Praise the heavens above for the simplicity and deliciousness of this New Orleans Bread Pudding with Caramel Whiskey Sauce! Â Simple cake or humble pie, you are not, dear decadent and sinfully rich BREAD PUDDING!
You are comforting, satisfying, and cruelly fattening at the same time . . . you, bread pudding, are a killer dessert! Â With caramel in the whiskey sauce drizzled on top, you will lead anyone to have an epiphany on a mountain!
YOU.ARE.JUST.THAT.GOOD . . . quite simply one of the best desserts. EVER!Â
No longer do I need to go to an eatery to enjoy your simple, humble delicious soft sweetness . . . I can make you in my own kitchen! Â And even better, I can share you too!
Now a few words of culinary wisdom advice: Â When making bread pudding, use hefty bread such as Italian, French, ciabatta or sourdough . . . and make sure it is at least 1 â 2 days old and dried out. Â Yes, you heard that right, this heft and dryness gives the bread pudding greater integrity in depth and prevents the bread pudding from resulting in a sloppy, soupy mess!
The rich vanilla custard sauce makes this bread pudding sing along with creating crispy, golden edges from baking.  You pour the custard on top of the bread cubes just to the point of looking OVER-saturated.  And thatâs a good thing â you want this puppy to be super-moist with creamy, cinnamon-y goodness!  To top this recipe off is a sinful quality gained from the addition of caramel in the whiskey sauce . . . taking it far over other bread pudding recipes.
Another great bennie to making bread pudding is that you donât have to look very far outside of your everyday pantry ingredients to make this luscious, yet humble dessert: Â sugar, milk, cream, vanilla, bread, eggs . . . oh and yes, SOME BOOZE!
I am so IN LOVE! Â What could be more inviting to your family and guest than this rich and inviting bread pudding?
Your family and guests will in fact believe you to be a monster for having the audacity to prepare this and ruin their weight-loss progress! Â Trust me, they wonât refuse! Â Theyâll just curse you, yet thank you for blowing their diet in a wonderful way! Â Their word of mouth about your cooking will give you a (great) reputation, I assure you!

Many of you know that the American custom of celebrating Mardi Gras before the Lenten season of fasting and prayer parallels that of âCarnevaleâ in Italy, Brazil and other Latin countries. During my visit to Venice, Italy, where âCarnevaleâ is celebrated in the most magnificent ways, I just HAD TO purchase some hand-made masks (both large and small). I use them in the decor of my guest bedrooms. They are beautiful, arenât they?
âcarnevaleâ masks from Venice, Italy . . . beautiful handmade treasures! Â âMardi Grasâ is the U.S. celebrated holiday of Carnevale in Italy and Brazil.
Here are some other wonderful Mardis Gras and Italian Carnevale recipes for you to enjoy that Iâve prepared over the years. Â I hope that youâll check them out; they are winning recipes as well!
