Ingredients

Nonstick cooking spray
1 pound purchased brioche bread
5 cups cold whole milk
2 (4.4 ounce) boxes American custard dessert mix
1/3 cup dark rum
2 egg yolks, beaten
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 cup walnut pieces, lightly toasted
1/4 cup pecan pieces, lightly toasted
1/2 cup golden raisins, optional
Caramel Rum Sauce, recipe follows

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Spray a 13 by 9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Tear brioche into 1-inch pieces and place in prepared dish.

In a large bowl, combine milk, custard dessert mix, rum, eggs, and nutmeg. Whisk until well blended. Stir in nuts and raisins, if using. Pour over brioche; press down lightly on brioche to submerge into custard. Let stand for 10 minutes, or until brioche absorbs custard slightly. Bake for 50 minutes, or until top is golden brown and bread pudding puffs. Serve warm with Caramel Rum Sauce.

Caramel Rum Sauce:

2/3 cup butterscotch caramel sauce

3 tablespoons heavy cream

3 tablespoons dark rum

Combine caramel sauce, cream, and rum in medium glass bowl. Heat in microwave for 45 seconds. Whisk to blend. Drizzle over bread pudding.

Made this bread pudding for a family gathering and everyone raved about it, and some were very picky people.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

...and the bread, of course. The bread is the key to this whole recipe. Brioche is, as Tyler would put it, the "ULTIMATE"... bread for this recipe. It is also difficult to find a good baker that makes a good loaf of brioche. Keep the brioche for about a day or two and it will be the star of your entire recipe. In my opinion it can make or break the pudding. The rum, the custard and everything else is just icing on the cake.Read more

Excellent
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I had trouble finding the bread so I called the bakery and we substituted Challa (a Jewish egg bread) which turned out... GREAT!! I also used rum extract in the place of real rum and it was a hit at my house. Definitely will fix again and again!!Read more
