Chocolate Bourbon Bread Pudding with Drunk Icing

Ingredients:

Bread Pudding
2 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
¼ cup sugar
4 large, cage-free eggs
1 cup half-and-half
1 cup 2% milk
1/3 cup bourbon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups day-old, French-style bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
¼ cup brown sugar

Drunk Icing
4 ounces cream cheese
½ cup confectioners sugar
1 teaspoon bourbon
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions
To prepare the bread pudding, preheat oven to 350 degrees.In a large bowl, whisk together butter, white sugar, bourbon and eggs until fully combined.Slowly whisk in milk and half-and-half. Add in bread cubes, chocolate chunks and sprinkle with brown sugar, tossing to coat. Set aside and allow the bread to soak for about 45 minutes, gently stirring once to redistribute liquid. Create a water bath by filling a large, high-sided baking pan with a ¼-inch of water. Pour the bread pudding mixture evenly into individual ramekins and set the ramekins inside the water bath. Bake for about 40 minutes or until the custard has set and the top of the pudding is slightly browned and crispy. Use a toothpick to test the doneness and be careful not to overcook. When the bread pudding is done, drizzle with icing and serve warm.

To make the bourbon drunk icing, mix the cream cheese, confectioners sugar, bourbon, heavy cream and vanilla with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Refrigerate until needed.

Happy Thanksgiving!
