Amaretto Bread Pudding 
:
Ingredients
– 6 cups cubed day-old bread (such as French or Italian)
– 2 cups milk 
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 4 large eggs 
– 3/4 cup granulated sugar 
– 1/4 cup packed brown sugar 
– 1/4 cup Amaretto liqueur 
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 
– 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
For the Sauce 
– 1/2 cup Amaretto liqueur
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup butter 
Preparation 
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. 
2. Prepare Bread: Place the cubed bread in the prepared baking dish. 
3. Mix Custard: In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, Amaretto, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
4. Combine and Soak: Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes, pressing the bread down with a spoon to ensure it soaks up the liquid. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes to absorb the mixture.
5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pudding is set in the center.
6. Prepare Sauce: While the pudding is baking, make the sauce by combining the Amaretto, granulated sugar, and butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce is smooth.
7. Serve: Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm with the Amaretto sauce drizzled over the top. Enjoy your rich and decadent Amaretto Bread Pudding!
