Are you ready to get your green on with my Irish Bread Pudding? But wait, it gets even better because it is made in your crock pot. Served with an Irish Whiskey Hard Sauce it makes for a wonderful combination.
I am always looking for different recipes to make in the crockpot. Breakfast, dessert, and appetizers that can easily be prepared. This is the first dessert I have posted and what a dish it is. This recipe comes together quickly and only needs to cook for 3 hours on low.
The best part, if you are bringing this to a party, just keep it in the crock pot on warm and either drizzle the Irish whiskey sauce over the top or have it on the side.
I brought this to our card group last weekend and this technique worked great. I took 4oz. styrofoam cups to serve and just poured the Irish Whiskey Hard Sauce over the top. The group loved having my Crock Pot Irish Bread Pudding as a nice warm dessert. It went faster than the appetizers.
I think that is a good sign. I was planning on having some leftovers so I could take my final pictures the next day. No such luck, so I had to make another batch. What a shame!!!!
Cooking Method for Crock Pot Irish Bread Pudding with Irish Whiskey Hard Sauce:
So simple to make. Grab a baguette from the grocery. Slice it in half and brush with a little-melted butter. Toast for about ten minutes. Cute the bread into small cubes and place into a greased crock pot. Mix the raisins with the Irish Whiskey and let set to soak for ten minutes. (NOTE: If you do not have Irish whiskey you can substitute Canadian whiskey, brandy or cognac.)
Whisk together the milk’s, vanilla, sugar, and eggs. Add whiskey raisins to crock pot. Pour milk mixture over bread and stir well to combine. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mix. Cook on low for 3 hours. Serve the Crock Pot Irish Bread Pudding with the Irish Whiskey Sauce.
I hope this recipe gives you the Luck of the Irish.

This looks great. I need a St. Patrick’s Day dessert! Our neighbors who always host St. Patty’s Day had a pipe burst in their home with terrible damage. 🙁 We are going to volunteer to take it over. We’re not Irish, but we’ll make it work! BTW- went all over searching for potato flour today to make your cinnamon raisin bread with MY daughter. No luck, SO annoying! I’ll try Whole Foods unless you have another suggestion?!?! Thanks.
Quinn Caudill says
I couldn’t find it either. You can use potato flakes or just substitute regular flour and coconut flour like I did. I am sure you can order it from KAF. Good luck with the STPD party. I have plenty of recipes if you need them.
