Have you ever had bread pudding?

It sounds so fancy, doesn’t it?

Would you believe me if I told you that making this Jameson Irish Whiskey infused Irish bread pudding was pretty much as easy as making a baked French toast casserole?

Well, believe it!

Making fancy sounding bread pudding is actually just as easy as making a French toast casserole.

How To Make Irish Bread Pudding

This particular Jameson Irish Whiskey infused Irish bread pudding just feels extra fancy because of the ingredients.

The bread pudding starts with flaky, buttery croissants which add an instant element of richness.

Just tear them up and add them to a bowl.

After the croissants, you have the whiskey soaked raisins.

Don’t skip the Jameson whiskey raisins!

They truly up the wow factor of this whiskey infused Irish bread pudding.

Plus they are so easy to make.

Making Whiskey Soaked Raisins

You just soak the raisins in whiskey until they are nice and soft.

Then add the whiskey raisins to the torn croissant pieces and give them a good toss together so that they get evenly distributed.

Now, you have to mix up the custard portion of the bread pudding.

This part is pretty much the same as making French toast casserole.

You just whip together half and half, eggs, vanilla, salt, sugar and lemon zest.

All basic ingredients that you probably have in your fridge and pantry or can easily find in the supermarket.

After you have the custard mixed up, you can pour the croissants raisin mix into a greased casserole dish.

Then pour the custard mixture over it.

Let the croissants sit in the custard mixture for at least 25 minutes so they can really absorb it.

Then just before you bake the Jameson Irish Whiskey Infused Irish Bread Pudding, top it with more whiskey raisins.

While the bread pudding is in the oven and making your house smell delightful, make your caramel sauce on the stove.

Just stir together the butter and brown sugar in a sauce pan.

Bring it to a boil and keep stirring. 

Then when you dish up this sinfully delicious breakfast casserole, pour that golden, rich caramel sauce over the warm bread.

It will soak into all the nooks and crannies of the bread pudding and make it even more deliciously good.
