Ingredients

  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar, plus more for sprinkling
  • 1 12-ounce can (11/2 cups) frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
  • 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 2 large eggs plus 6 egg yolks
  • 12 cups day-old challah bread cubes
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
  • 3/4 cup bittersweet chocolate chunks
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream

Directions

Heat the milk, 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup orange juice concentrate in a saucepan over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves, stirring. Cool slightly. (It's OK if the mixture curdles slightly.)

Whisk the milk mixture, 2 tablespoons bourbon and the whole eggs and yolks in a large bowl; fold in the bread. Cover and refrigerate until the liquid is absorbed, about 1 hour 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Fold the chocolate chunks into the bread mixture. Spread evenly in the baking dish and sprinkle with sugar. Bake until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, make the sauce: Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and cook, stirring, until lightly caramelized, 5 to 6 minutes. Whisk in the remaining 1 cup orange juice concentrate, 3/4 cup bourbon and the salt. Cook until thick, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the cream and simmer until the sauce coats a spoon, about 10 more minutes. Slice the bread pudding and drizzle with the sauce.

    Yum!!! I did add some cream cheese and conf. sugar to the glaze so it ended up with a great frosting and some dried cranberries and cinammon. Very good and will make again and again!

    Great bread pudding. The sauce that goes with it is what really makes it. great The twist of bourbon and orange is the perfect match
