We love our classic New Orleans foods! For those of you out there who are sensitive to wheat, please see the Gluten Free New Orleans Style Bread Budding with Whisky Sauce recipe below.

Ingredients
6 cups 1-inch cubes gluten free bread
1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 cups double cream
2 cups whole milk
3 large eggs
1 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Sprinkle of salt
1/4 cup raisins

Directions
- Preheat the oven to 220 degrees C.
- Place the bread in a large bowl. Grease a 9 by 13-inch casserole dish with the butter and set aside.
- Combine the cream, milk, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and raisins in a large bowl. Whisk to mix. Pour the cream mixture over the bread, and stir to combine. Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes.
- Transfer the bread mixture to the casserole dish and bake until the center of the bread pudding is set, around 30 minutes.

Serve warm with warm Whiskey Sauce.

Whiskey Sauce
1 cup double cream
1/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup granulated white sugar
1 tablespoons cornflour
1/4 cup bourbon or other whiskey
Pinch salt
1 tablespoons unsalted butter

In a saucepan set over medium heat, combine the cream, milk, and sugar. Place the cornflour and half of the bourbon in a small mixing bowl and whisk to blend and make a slurry. Pour the slurry into the cream mixture and bring to a boil. Once the sauce begins to boil, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat, add the salt, and stir in the butter and the remaining bourbon. Serve warm.
