drunk pecan pie bread pudding
Ok, I went rogue on this recipe who follows rules right? Didn't even look for a recipe I just went with what I knew! I know there are pecan pie bread pudding recipes out there but this one with the rum is just over the top ahhhh-mazing! Rich buttery taste and warm rum flavor (I also tried it with bourbon and it was just as good!). If you want a new take on an old fave, give this a try :) Happy Cooking!
Blue Ribbon Recipe
Rich, decadent, and boozy, this bread pudding recipe is very flavorful. It has layers of rich, delicious bread pudding and is full of pecans. The rum sauce makes the pudding sweeter and richer. This is easy to throw together. Don't let the rum scare you. The flavor is there, but it's not overbearing. We served it with some freshly whipped cream... so good!

How To Make drunk pecan pie bread pudding
Test Kitchen Tips
When the rum sauce cools, it forms a sugary layer. Save a little sauce to heat up and serve on each plate.
-
Step 1I mix mine in the mornings, let sit until I finish dinner and pop it in the oven before we sit down to eat :)
-
Step 2In a large mixing bowl add eggs and slightly beat. -
Step 3Add everything but the bread and pecans. Mix well until it is combined really good.
-
Step 4Fold in bread and half the pecans.
-
Step 5Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour mixing every so often to coat bread well. Cover and refrigerate until you are ready to bake. This recipe is best if left to sit for 6-8 hours or overnight. It gives the bread plenty of time to soak everything up!
-
Step 6Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9x13 baking dish with butter or cooking spray. (I use a little smaller size because I like a thicker bread pudding.) Use whatever size you want :)
-
Step 7Pour everything into your prepared baking dish.
-
Step 8Top with remaining pecans.
-
Step 9Pop in the oven and bake for 60 minutes.
-
Step 10RUM SAUCE: While bread pudding is baking, in a saucepan melt stick of butter.
-
Step 11Add sugar, dark rum or bourbon, and water. Mix well and simmer for 10 minutes stirring occasionally. Turn stove eye off and let sit to keep warm until bread pudding is finished.
-
Step 12Remove from oven.
-
Step 13While still hot, pour half the rum sauce over the top. Letting it get down between the pudding and sides of baking dish.
-
Step 14Let sit for 15 minutes and pour more sauce over it. You judge how much of the sauce you want - some or all it is up to you. I use it all, lol.
-
Step 15Enjoy! I like mine warm with vanilla ice cream and hubby eats his with fresh whipped topping.
