Ingredients

• 1 cup Raisins
• 0.5 cup Dark rum
• 6 cups Day-old bread (such as brioche or French bread), cubed
• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 4 large Eggs
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon Butter, melted (for greasing the baking dish)
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar (for spiced rum sauce)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for spiced rum sauce)
• 0.25 cup Spiced rum (for spiced rum sauce)
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream (for spiced rum sauce)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for spiced rum sauce)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the raisins and dark rum. Let them soak for at least 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure all raisins are coated.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

Step 4

Add the cubed bread to the cream mixture, ensuring all pieces are coated. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.

Step 5

Stir the soaked raisins (including any remaining rum) into the bread mixture, then transfer everything to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set but still slightly soft in the center.

Step 7

While the bread pudding bakes, prepare the spiced rum sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and stir in the brown sugar until dissolved.

Step 8

Add the spiced rum and heavy cream to the butter mixture, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 9

Remove the sauce from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 10

Once the bread pudding is done baking, let it cool for 5-10 minutes. Serve warm with the spiced rum sauce generously drizzled over each portion.
