Planet Hollywood White Chocolate Bread Pudding Recipe - Disney Recipes (2024)

• 32 ounces French Bread (about 4 cups), dried overnight in a covered container
• 9 Egg Yolks
• 1 3/4 cups + 2 tablespoons granulated Sugar divided
• 1 cup Milk
• 2 3/4 cups Heavy Cream
• 3/4 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 2 1/4 cups White Chocolate Pieces
• 1/4 cup Butter, to butter pan

Whiskey Sauce

• 2 1/4 cups Butter
• 4 1/2 cups Granulated Sugar
• 5 Eggs
• 1/2 cup Bourbon (Planet Hollywood uses Jim Beam Bourbon - But any good Kentucky Bourbon will taste good.)

• Preheat oven to 350°F.

• Cut French bread into 1-inch cubes.

• In a medium mixing bowl, beat yolks and 1 1/4 cups sugar.

• In a pan, heat milk, remaining sugar, heavy cream and vanilla extract over medium heat, whisking constantly. As mixture begins to boil, turn down heat.

• Add 1/2 cup of milk mixture to egg mixture in bowl and whisk well (This brings temperature of yolks up so that they won't curdle.)

Planet Hollywood Whiskey Sauce

• In a medium mixing bowl, beat eggs.

• Melt butter in heavy-bottomed pan.

• Add sugar. Heat to simmering. Do not allow to boil.

• Add 1/2 cup bourbon mixture to beaten eggs and whisk well to bring the eggs up to temperature.

• Add all of beaten egg mixture to bourbon mixture, whipping constantly.

To Serve

• Place a slice of bread pudding on a plate. Spoon Whiskey Sauce over top and allow to soak in well before serving.

• Add a scoop of ice cream and whipped cream on top, if desired.

Foil goes over the clear film to create a very moist baking environment. You can purchase food service grade film at restaurant supply stores and some warehouse clubs and supermarkets. If you can't find the clear covering, you can skip the first cover.

Planet Hollywood Whiskey Sauce is also delicious spooned over ice cream or cheesecake.
