Irish Brown Bread Pudding
The Irish make wonderful soda and brown breads and like many others they will gather up the old stale bread and made a lovely dessert. Often times it is a bread pudding, that is filled with not only the wonderful spice from the bread but put into a custard with some lovely sauce and then they serve you the most delicious dessert, from the left over bread. Our Irish Brown Bread Pudding is a recipe that uses the day or two old brown bread, then soaked in a custard base and baked. After it cools just a bit it is cover with a very rich sauce and later served with the sauce on the side. Oh my goodness this is a very special treat that I am proud to serve my family and friends and share with you today.

1-1/2 cup half and half
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon all-spice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons butter
Sauce
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
Directions

In a large mixing pitcher, mix the eggs, half and half, brown sugar, cinnamon, all-spice, salt and vanilla extract.
Butter a 9 X 13 baking dish and place the bread cubes into the baking dish.
Very slowing pour the liquid mix over the bread, waiting so the liquid can be absorbed, try not to push the bread down, just let it absorb.
Let the bread mixture sit for 45 minutes.
Place in a 375 degree oven and back for 40 to 45 minutes until browned on top and almost set in the center.
Remove from the oven onto a cooling rack.
Sauce
In a small sauce pan, mix together the butter, powdered sugar and heavy cream.
Bring the mixture to a boil and boil for 1 minute.
Remove from heat and let sit until cooled.
Pour 1/2 over the top of the pudding, reserving 1/2 to serve on the side.
Best served when warm.
Enjoy!
