- For the Bread Pudding
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the bread in a large bowl. Grease a 9 by 13-inch casserole dish with the remaining tablespoon of butter and set aside. Combine the heavy cream, milk, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt 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, 50 to 60 minutes.
- Garnish the bread pudding with confectioners' sugar and serve warm with warm.
- For the Pralines
- Butter the sides of a heavy 2-quart saucepan. Place the sugar, salt, and corn syrup,
- milk, and butter in saucepan. Over medium heat, stir mixture constantly with a
- wooden spoon until sugars have dissolved and mixture comes to a boil. Continue to
- cook to a hard ball stage on a candy thermometer. If you do a cold water test, the ball of candy will flatten when you take it out of the water.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
- Add the vanilla and nuts, and beat with a spoon by hand for approximately 2 minutes
- or until candy is slightly thick and begins to lose its gloss. Quickly drop heaping
- tablespoons onto waxed paper. If the candy becomes stiff, add a few drops of hot
- water.
- For the Ice Cream
- Heat the cream, sugar, vanilla, and vanilla seeds in a small saucepan only until the
- sugar is dissolved. Be sure the sugar is dissolved - you will no longer feel any
- grittiness from the sugar if you rub some cream between your fingers. Strain into a
- bowl, cover, and chill very well. Add the Armagnac and freeze the mixture in an ice
- cream freezer according to the manufacturer's directions. Spoon into a freezer
- container and allow to chill in the freezer for a few hours before serving.
