Bananas Foster Bread Pudding is a decadent show stopping dessert.

This dessert is full of the ripe Bananas mixed with a slightly sweet Brioche bread cubes.

This fantastic combination is then married together with a warm buttery banana sauce.

Yes, you can find banana liqueur at your local liquor store.

However, I highly recommend you make your own.

It’s easy and it will take your Bananas Foster Bread Pudding to the next level.

Why?

Commercial banana liqueur is full of artificial flavorings.

Mine uses the real thing – ripe bananas.

I have included my banana liqueur recipe below.

Ingredients

Scale

Bread Pudding

  • 6 Brioche Buns, slightly stale, torn into large cubes
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream 

Banana Liqueur

  • Mason Jar
  • Cheese cloth
  • 2 bananas peeled and sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups rum (I use clear rum)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup turbinado sugar

Bananas Foster Sauce

  • 6 Tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 10 Tablespoons banana liqueur

Instructions

Bread Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Grease six ramekins and place them on a baking tray.
  3. Place torn brioche buns in the 6 ramekins so that the ramekins are filled half way.
  4. Add sliced bananas over the brioche.
  5. Place more torn brioche on top the bananas.
  6. Finish with another layer of bananas.
  7. Lightly whisk eggs.
  8. Add in cinnamon, brown sugar, milk, and heavy whipping cream.
  9. Whisk again and carefully pour the mixture over the brioche and bananas.
  10. Cover the ramekins with foil and allow to sit for approximately 15 minutes so that the bread will soak up the mixture.
  11. Then place in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. 
  12. Remove foil from the ramekins and finish baking for an additional 20 minutes.

Banana Liqueur

  1. Put all of the ingredients in a quart sized jar.
  2. Give it a few shakes every day.
  3. Place in a cool area in your kitchen out of the sun.
  4. After 3 days, strain the mixture through some cheese cloth placed into a colander over a bowl.
  5. Discard remnants caught in the cheese cloth.
  6. Place the remaining mixture you caught in the bowl in a small sauce pan.
  7. Turn the heat to low and simmer until bubbles appear on the sides.
  8. Turn off the heat and allow to cool.
  9. Pour the mixture into a clean sealable jar and store in the fridge.

Bananas Foster Sauce

  1. In a small saucepan, melt butter.
  2. Add sugar and cinnamon and mix well.
  3. Add the banana liqueur and simmer on the lowest setting for approximately 3 minutes.
  4. Once the bread pudding comes out of the oven, drizzle the sauce over them.
  5. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • If you are not serving immediately, you can wait to pour the bananas foster sauce over the bread pudding until when ready to serve.
  • I use 8 ounce ramekins.
