Ingredients

Sauce

2 cups Whipping cream

6 tablespoons Irish cream liqueur

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract

2 teaspoons Cornstarch

2 teaspoons water

Bread Pudding

14 cups 3/4-inch cubes French bread with crust (about 12 ounces)

6 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped

6 ounces imported white chocolate chopped

4 large Eggs

1/2 cup plus 4 tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons Vanilla extract

2 cups Whipping cream

1/2 cup Whole milk

Nonstickvegetable oil spray


Directions

For sauce: Bring cream, liqueur, sugar, and vanilla to boil in heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Mix cornstarch and 2 teaspoons water in small bowl to blend; whisk into cream mixture. Boil until sauce thickens, stirring constantly, about 3 minutes. Cool, then cover and refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Keep refrigerated.) For bread pudding: Combine bread, chocolate, and white chocolate in large bowl; toss to blend. Using electric mixer, beat eggs, 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, and vanilla in another large bowl to blend. Gradually beat in 1 1/2 cups cream and milk. Add cream mixture to bread mixture; stir to combine. Let stand 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350F. Spray 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish with nonstick spray. Transfer bread mixture to prepared dish, spreading evenly. Drizzle with remaining 1/2 cup cream. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Bake pudding until edges are golden and custard is set in center, about 1 hour. Cool pudding slightly. Drizzle bread pudding with sauce and serve warm.

Rose Ann Pescheff of Watertown, Connecticut, writes: "My husband and I went to a friend's birthday dinner at Carmen Anthony Steakhouse in nearby Waterbury. The entire meal was good, but the bread pudding was outstanding ? the perfect finishing touch. Since bread pudding is one of my husband's favorite desserts, I'd like to make it for him at home."
