Ingredients

• 8 cups Day-old bread (French bread or brioche)
• 3 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 4 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 cup Raisins (optional)
• 1 stick Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons Jack Daniels whiskey
• 2 tablespoons Whole milk (for sauce)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.

Step 2

Cut the day-old bread into 1-inch cubes and place them in the greased baking dish.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring all the bread is saturated. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb the liquid. If using raisins, sprinkle them evenly over the mixture.

Step 5

Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the bread pudding and cover the baking dish with foil.

Step 6

Bake for 30 minutes covered, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.

Step 7

While the bread pudding is baking, prepare the Jack Daniels sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the stick of butter over medium heat.

Step 8

Add the powdered sugar and whisk until smooth, then mix in the Jack Daniels whiskey and milk. Continue whisking until the sauce is heated through and thickened slightly, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 9

Serve the warm bread pudding drizzled with the Jack Daniels sauce.
