Trim I have been on a 1200 diet for 5 wks all I can say is "get behind me satan"
Ps I can taste what its like with two bolas of vanila icecream nestling and gently melting next to 1/2lbs of your sadistic creation.
PPs I forgot to add, dusted with little drifts of icing sugar, or what about to blobs of Cornish Clotted Cream or maybe....................life is so hard!

or, caramelize sugar with bourbon infused milk, and drizzle over bread pudding. Just choose, and life gets easier.

I found a bunch of heels of bread in my fridge, so I decided it was time to try this recipe.

I weighed my heels and only had 300 grams (2/3 of a pound), so I cut all the ingredients to 2/3. I used whole multigrain bread. It still turned out fabulous.

I ran short of white sugar for the lemon sauce (I made the full amount) so it was 1/3 cup white and 2/3 cup brown sugar. I found the sauce to be too sweet, but really tasty. Then I noticed that I had forgotten to add a beaten egg. D'oh!

I let the sauce cool off, added a beaten egg, and reheated to boiling with constant stirring. So, of course, I had to have another serving to test the repaired lemon sauce. Now it isn't too sweet.

Did you notice that it came out great with whole grain bread? See, that's healthy.

Couldn't you just use Splenda? The sauce isn't necessary for a great dessert. Adding the sauce is just delightfully decadent.

I love bread pudding, but I prefer mine really moist. This looks like a good recipe, but I'll be cutting the bread down by about 1/3rd. A big scoop of French vanilla ice cream on top of a hot bowl of it, and I'm all set.

We are making this right now for our Mexican party tomorrow.I am doubling the bourbon sauce though!
I almost tried a tequila sauce but I love bourbon.
I am using Woodford Reserve!

Thanks!

Yeh, I can make it healthy, and taste great. It's just that picture! What a wonderful looking desert, with sauce. And the raisins, well, I'm sure I could substitute with blueberries. Raisins aren't the best for me, though I love their flavor and texture.

And one more thing, thank you for steering me back to the right road.
