Ingredients
Sauce:
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 cup amaretto liqueur
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
Bread Pudding:
- 1 (1-pound) loaf panettone bread, crusts trimmed, bread cut into 1-inch cubes
- 8 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups whipping cream
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
Directions
To make the sauce: Bring the cream, milk, and sugar to a boil in a heavy small saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently. In a small bowl, mix the amaretto and cornstarch to blend and then whisk into the cream mixture. Simmer over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes. Set aside and keep warm. (The amaretto sauce can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm before serving.)
To make the bread pudding: Lightly butter a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish. Arrange the bread cubes in the prepared dish. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, cream, milk, and sugar to blend. Pour the custard over the bread cubes, and press the bread cubes gently to submerge. Let stand for 30 minutes, occasionally pressing the bread cubes into the custard mixture. (Recipe can be prepared up to this point 2 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Bake until the pudding puffs and is set in the center, about 45 minutes. Cool slightly. Spoon the bread pudding into bowls, drizzle with the warm amaretto sauce, and serve.

Oh my word!!! This is fantastic!! I have used this recipe so many times I almost know it by heart. It is truly a keeper. This is so easy to throw together and everybody is always asking me to bring it. Especially at Christmas time. When changing it I use a cinneman swirl/ raisins what ever today I am using a blueberry swirl bread. I have grated a little orange into it. Its great. I always double the sauce.

Great for make ahead. Reheats well the next day or two. Need's a 2 lb panettone. Double the sauce because you'll want more and be sorry if you run out.

LOVED IT. My first time having pannetone and it actually is very similar to a kind of sweet bread they have in Mexico too. Anyway, since it was the holidays, I was able to easily find pannetone at CVS and at S Mart. It was super delicious. Totally unhealthy and rich but very yummy. I like eating bread pudding cold the next day. Will definitely make again next Christmas.
