Coffee Liqueur Bread Pudding is a sophisticated and indulgent dessert that combines the rich flavors of coffee and caramel. It’s a perfect treat for coffee lovers and those who enjoy a twist on the classic bread pudding.
Ingredients
For the Bread Pudding:
- 1 loaf (about 1 pound) day-old bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup coffee liqueur (like Kahlúa)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
For the Caramel Sauce:
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Spread the bread cubes in the prepared baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, coffee liqueur, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and instant coffee granules.
- Pour the mixture over the bread cubes, pressing down gently to ensure all bread is soaked. Let it sit for about 15 minutes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
- While the bread pudding is baking, make the caramel sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar and butter. Cook until the butter melts and the mixture is smooth.
- Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Continue to cook for a few more minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
- Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- Serve the bread pudding warm, drizzled with the caramel sauce.
- Optionally, you can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top.
