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! 😋🍰
