This fantastic praline bread pudding tastes great either hot or cold. It was so easy to make.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup butter, melted
  • 2 cups half-and-half
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 (1 pound) loaf soft French bread, torn into small pieces
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 cups white sugar
  • 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup raisins, or more to taste (Optional)
  • ½ pound unsalted butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup chopped toasted pecans

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Coat a 13×9-inch baking dish with 1/4 cup melted butter.

  • Pour half and half and milk over bread in a large mixing bowl; let soak for 10 minutes before gently stirring. Stir eggs into the bread mixture until incorporated. Add sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and raisins respectively, stirring each addition into the mixture before adding the next. Spoon bread mixture into prepared baking dish.

  • Bake in preheated oven until bread mixture is firm and pudding-like, about 50 minutes.

  • Step 4
    Stir 1/2 pound unsalted butter, heavy cream, and brown sugar together in a heavy saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, stir pecans into the cream mixture, and simmer until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes; pour over bread pudding to serve.
