Rum Raisin Bread Pudding

Chef Larry's Recipe

Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup Butter, melted
  • 1 cup Dark raisins
  • 1/2 cup Dark Rum
  • 4 - 6 slices White bread
  • 2 cups White bread, cubed
  • 2 cups Milk
  • 2 cups Cream
  • 1/4 tsp. Ground cinnamon
  • Pinch Ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp. Vanilla
  • 8 Eggs, large
  • 3/4 cup Sugar

For Service
  • 1 1/2 cup Lightly sweetened whipped cream
  • 1/4 cup Toasted sliced almonds
  • Fresh mint sprigs to garnish

Method
Combine raisins and rum. Allow to marinate for atleast 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bring milk, cream, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla to a simmer in a saucepan. Turn off heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes. In a large bowl combine eggs and sugar, mix well. Slowly incorporate cooled cream into eggs while whisking until well combined to create the "custard." Do not over mix as it will create too much "foam."

Brush baking dish with melted butter. Add cubed bread and rum soaked raisins. Pour in custard. Brush bread slices with butter and place on top gently pressing down to absorb custard. Drizzle remaining butter over bread slices. Place filled baking dish in a water bath. Bake for 45 - 50 minutes at 350 degrees until golden brown and set. Cool for 10-15 minutes.

Cut into portions and place on serving plates. Garnish with whipped cream, toasted sliced almonds and mint sprigs.

Makes 10 - 12 Servings
