bailey's irish cream bread pudding

Doesn't the title alone make you drool? This Bailey's Irish Ceam Bread Pudding has great texture and flavor. It's perfect recipe for a St. Patrick's Day brunch, (or your hangover breakfast the day after). It's also great for the holidays, like a Christmas breakfast. You can even top it with vanilla ice cream and serve it as a dessert. 


I got the idea to create an Irish bread pudding with Bailey's Irish Cream and when I typed it into Google I found this one from Food.com. I tweaked it slightly, but it's still very similar.


Prepare it the night before and pop it in the oven in the morning!


Serves 8

You'll Need:
Soft Bread-6 slices, cut into 1" cubes (I used Butter Split Top by Dutch Country)
Vanilla Extract- 1 1/2 tsp.
Milk (Soy or Almond is good) -1 1/3 cup 
Bailey's Irish Cream- 1 cup
Eggs- 5, beaten  
Brown Sugar- 2 tbsp.
White Sugar- 1/4 cup
Nutmeg- 1 tsp.
Raisins or Chocolate Chips- optional


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Butter or spray one 2-quart casserole dish.


Beat together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla.


Slowly add the milk then the Bailey's Irish Cream. Mix.


Add bread into the liquid. Spinkle with nutmeg. Toss until coated. 


Pour into pan. Add chocolate chips or raisins if using.  


Refrigerate now if making ahead.

Bake 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.



If the pudding seems to be dry, you can sprinkle some Bailey's over the top to help make it moist.

*Note I made this for a large party in a 9x13 pan and used the following:
12 slices of bread
2 tsp. Vanilla Extract 
2 cups milk
1 cup Baileys
6 eggs
1 1/2 tsp Nutmeg
4 tbsp. brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
