Kamado Joe, Chef Eric Gephart
Every cook needs 3 great desserts! This Bourbon Bread Pudding has been a favorite of my families for years and sure does make baking simple. My suggestion, get this on the grill before leaning into those new year’s resolutions. Bread, butter, chocolate and bourbon are a gift, happy grilling team!

  • 6. Pour custard mixture over bread and set for 30 minutes

Bourbon Sauce

  • Combine sugar, corn syrup, and butter over medium heat. Simmer and cook 5 to 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  • Remove from heat and add bourbon then add back to the heat and reduce for 1 more minute.

  • Cover the container with foil and grill indirect at 350 for 25-30 minutes. Then grill for an additional 10 minutes uncovered.
  • Top with sauce and powder sugar. Enjoy (I often like to add sugared pecans)
