A Sweet Bourbon Sauce Totally Elevates Bread Pudding
BY AUSTIN HAVENS-BOWEN
A sweet bourbon sauce will give bread pudding a boozy and sugary touch that will make it stand out. In general, bourbon provides smoky and sweet notes similar to vanilla.
Bourbon will add booziness, but the alcohol content will partially cook off, so it won’t be overpowering. Combining it with other ingredients adds a sticky texture and moisture.
Add browned butter to amp up the rich, nutty, and toffee-like flavors. Your bourbon sauce can be poured on top of the bread pudding to soak into the bread just before serving.
