LAYERED BRIOCHE, CHOCOLATE & SALTED MAPLE CARAMEL SAUCE

It’s heaven in a spoonful: Salted maple caramel sauce, using Pappy Bourbon Barrel-aged Maple Syrup. And we don’t stop there. It’s drizzled over decadent chocolate bread pudding, a classic dessert. To us, there’s no better way to end a meal — and a maple-inspired one at that.

Here at Pappy & Company, we’ve partnered with Libbie Summers, artistic director of her own lifestyle brand, “A Food-Inspired Life,” to bring you a series of recipes inspired by our Pappy Van Winkle Bourbon Barrel-aged Pure Maple Syrup. This bread pudding is a sweet ending to her maple-inspired menu.

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon fine salt
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• Salty Maple Caramel Sauce (recipe to follow)

3. Arrange brioche slices in dish.

Salty Maple Caramel Sauce Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups Pappy & Co. Maple Syrup
• ½ cup heavy cream
• ¼ cup butter, softened
• ½ teaspoon flake sea salt (we use Maldon brand)

Directions

1. In a deep thick bottom pot over medium heat, add maple syrup and bring to a low boil. Allow to boil for 15 minutes, stirring every few minutes with a silicone spatula. (The syrup will start to coat the backside of the spatula and become thick when cooled.)
2. Stir in the butter until it is completely melted, and then add the cream, stirring constantly. It will not bubble up dangerously like caramel, but it will still be very hot. Add the salt and then stir to mix. The mixture will thicken as it cools.

Note: Salted Maple Caramel Sauce is great spooned over everything from ice cream to broiled fruit!
