The Praline Sauce is a stand-alone that will add depth and excitement to any cake or pudding, but it marries perfectly with this Cajun-inspired recipe. This is a dish that I have served hundreds of times and is always a favorite - so much so that folks often ask for a serving or two 'to go'.

Easy ingredients, easy to prepare. This dessert is a real Big Easy...

    The "pièce de résistance" to last evening's dinner of your Pork with Apple, Onion & Hard Cider. A true indulgence food.
    I've cooked/tasted this recipe!

      Hey there, suzybel56 - The sauce will work on ice cream and pound cake, etc. And since you appear to be a bread pudding lover, I hope you'll give the Blueberry Bread Pudding with Lemoncello Sauce a test drive. I truly appreciate both your enthusiasm and hope for your feedback. Best regards, Amos

          Well, if I'm to serve it to others, then I have to taste it first. If I taste it first...I will most certainly be a goner. Nope, no self restraint here.

              I was making the sauce as a topping for some pound cake and was just asked for the Cajun Bread Pudding recipe, so I thought I'd put it up here. Really, ladies, you should try it - you don't have to eat it yourselves, just make it and feed it to someone else and take credit. What? No self restraint??? I love you all!

                This would be good on a piece of one of your cakes...

                Oh Amos, I totally agree with Michelle M. This looks deadly and easy.
                You ever heard of the "Axe handle measurement"? I'm going to apply said measurement to my own self soon, especially with recipes like this! lol

                  Wouldn't this be good in a bowl of oatmeal?

                    I don't think I would dare mess with this bread pudding, as it looks fabulous already.

                      Oh wait! Were you just talking about the sauce?...oh, um, er, sorry. In that case, then yes, the sauce would be really good there. On French Toast too!

                  I guess I'll have to post some photos... The sauce is so simple and so perfect - and so versatile that it simply stands on it's own. The only place to go with this is straight on a dessert... You are always so encouraging!

                    Sighing. With stars in my eyes.
                    Pardon the Marsha Brady, but this is dreamy!
