Description

This bread pudding is amazing. It’s so creamy and moist and decadent and delicious. Of course, like any good eggnog, it’s spiked (in this case with bourbon). It’s made with soft, slightly sweet challah that’s soaked overnight in heavy cream, sugar, vanilla, butter and, of course, the hero of this dessert, eggnog. It’s perfect to put together on Christmas eve and enjoy for breakfast Christmas morning.

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf Fresh Challah Bread (16 Oz. Loaf)
  • 4 Tablespoons Butter, Melted (plus More For Buttering The Dish)
  • 3-½ cups Eggnog
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 4 whole Large Eggs
  • 4  Egg Yolks
  • ½ cups Sugar
  • ½ cups Light Brown Sugar, Loosely Packed
  • 2 Tablespoons Bourbon (or Other Whisky)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste Or Extract
  • 1 pinch Salt

Preparation

Cut or tear the bread into small pieces. I used a mixture of 1-inch cubes and smaller, roughly torn pieces. Since the bread is so soft and it’s going to soak overnight, it really doesn’t matter too much.

Lightly butter a 9×13″ baking dish and fill with the bread pieces. Set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients. When fully mixed, pour evenly over the bread pieces in the baking dish. Be sure to saturate the bread well. I used my hands to gently press down on the bread to make sure everything was well submerged. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

When you’re ready to bake, preheat your oven to 375°F. Bake the bread pudding for 40-45 minutes.

Serve warm with maple syrup and enjoy.

Can you tell us why it needs overnight refrigeration? Thanks.

My husband has made this bread pudding recipe twice already to give away for the holiday along with his own butterscotch rum sauce to be ladled over when it comes out of the oven. The eggnog and challah bread create a taste similar to French toast with the outside crisp and the inside very moist with an incredible sweetness and lightness. Since eggnog is only available during this season, we highly recommend trying this incredible dessert, or for an early morning breakfast with coffee. We gave it to our neighbor during breakfast and our neighbor called us back and told us it was like his grandmothers when he was young. He told us we could make it for them anytime. It is delicious. Thanks for sharing.
