If you’re hosting a Mardi Gras party tomorrow night, or just feel like celebrating Mardi Gras with cajun and creole recipes, don’t forget dessert! Warm and buttery, our bread pudding with bourbon sauce is a healthified adaptation of traditional New Orleans recipes. No heavy cream, very little butter, and yet, it’s just as rich and comforting as a bread pudding made with generous amounts of butter and cream.
