Ingredients
  

  • 1 loaf cinnamon swirl bread
  • cup Golden raisins
  • cup Sugar
  • 2 cups Milk
  • 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
  • 2 teaspoons  Vanilla extract
  • 4 eggs (beaten)
  • ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
PRALINE SAUCE
  • 1 cup Unsalted butter (cubed)
  • ¾ cup Chopped pecans
  • 3 cups Light brown sugar
  • ¾ cup Heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 ¼ cups Sour cream
  • ¾ teaspoon Vanilla extract
To Serve
  • Vanilla ice cream
  • Whipped cream

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the oven by preheating it to 325°. Prepare a 13x9 baking dish by coating it heavily with butter on the bottom and sides.  Make 1-inch pieces of cinnamon bread by tearing them. 
  • To prevent burning, turn crust-side down the bread and mix it with raisins. Spread evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  • Mix together milk, heavy whipping cream, sugar, vanilla, eggs, and cinnamon in a bowl. Over the bread mixture, pour the liquid, soaking the bread thoroughly.
  • Until the pudding is firm, bake it for 1 hour.
  • The praline sauce is made by melting ½ cup of butter in a large saucepan. As the mixture will foam, use a large saucepan. 
  • Combine melted butter with pecans. Put the pot on the stove and bring it to a boil. Until the pecans begin to change color, bring them to a boil. Mix well after adding the butter, then remove from heat.
  •  Mix brown sugar, heavy whipping cream, and cinnamon together in a second saucepan. While stirring constantly, cook the mixture over low heat until it is well blended. 
  • Stir continuously as the heat is increased. You need to cook the candy until it reaches 230° (use a candy thermometer). Add the pecan mixture and stir well. 
  • Mix well the sour cream and vanilla. Turn off the heat.
  • With a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a dollop of whipped cream, if desired, serve bread pudding topped with warm praline sauce.
