Scale
- 5 1/2-6 cups stale bread ( I used a french baguette and a french loaf)
- 5 large eggs, beaten
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 tsp banana extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1tbsp rum ( I used Sailor Jerry's)
- 2 large bananas, sliced
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup pecans, chopped
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 stick butter (unsalted or salted)
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1 tsp banana liqueur
- 1/4 cup rum (I use Sailor Jerry's)
Instructions
- Make sure your bread is stale. If not break it into bite size pieces place on a baking sheet and cook at 350F for 15 minutes or so. Leave your oven on and grease a 9X13 baking dish.
- In a large bowl combine eggs, granulated sugar, heavy whipping cream, and milk. Add in vanilla and banana extracts, cinnamon and rum.
- Pour bread chunks into the egg mixture and pour into greased pan. Let sit for 20 minutes. I placed a damp paper towel on top of the mixture while marinating to keep moisture in.
- Slice bananas thin and layer on top of bread mixture.
- In a small bowl combine butter, pecans and brown sugar. Sprinkle on top of bananas.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream evenly over the top of everything, then bake for 50-55 minutes.
- Once cooked let cool on a wire rack and right before serving begin the sauce. (Or make ahead and reheat for serving)
- In a medium saucepan heat butter, brown sugar and cream. Once fully combined add banana extract and rum.
- Drizzle on top of bread pudding and serve with ice cream!
Notes
* You could use banana liqueur in lieu of the banana extract *
