Directions
Prepare the grill for indirect cooking at 325°F air temperature, preferably with
wood smoke. Pecan wood is an ideal choice. Wood smoking packets can be
placed over the active burner.
Whisk the eggs and yolks together in a large mixing bowl. Whisk in the
brown sugar and molasses. Next add the milk, bourbon, half-and-half, vanilla,
cinnamon and nutmeg, whisking one last time to thoroughly combine. Stir in the
raisins and candied ginger.
Coat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet with butter. Place the bread cubes in the skillet.
Slowly and evenly pour in the egg mixture, making sure all of the bread is
soaked. Top with carefully placed pecan halves.
Place the skillet on the grill in the indirect zone. Cook with the grill lid closed
until the pudding's internal temperature reaches 170°F, about 45 minutes to
1 hour.
Remove the pudding from the grill and let cool for 10 minutes.
While the pudding is cooling, prepare the bourbon sauce. Melt the butter in a
saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the remaining ingredients. Simmer for 5
minutes. Remove from heat.
Drizzle the bourbon sauce over individual servings of the pudding.

Bourbon Gingerbread Pudding
Gingerbread pudding is a perfect dessert for holiday meals, but it is so good you can enjoy
it any time of the year. The wood smoke, molasses, candied ginger, bourbon and spices
thoroughly infuse the brioche bread, creating an incredibly tasty dessert. A sweet bourbon
sauce tops it off and really turns up the flavor.
