Creating this incredible Whiskey Caramel Bread Pudding is a simple process. Follow these steps for a delicious result:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

2. Prepare Bread: In a large bowl, combine the cubed bread. Set aside to allow it to dry out a bit while you prepare the custard.

3. Mix Custard Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, whiskey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

4. Combine Bread and Custard: Pour the custard mixture over the cubed bread, ensuring all pieces are coated. Let it soak for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. Transfer to Baking Dish: Spoon the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the top is golden brown.

7. Cool Slightly: Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

8. Prepare Whiskey Caramel Sauce: While the pudding cools, you can warm your caramel sauce if needed. If you’re making homemade sauce, combine sugar, butter, cream, and whiskey in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until smooth and thickened.

9. Serve: Drizzle the warm whiskey caramel sauce over the bread pudding before serving.
