Ingredients:  
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
4 large eggs
1 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup Bourbon
2 cups half-and-half
8 slices French bread, cubed
1 cup raisins


SPICED CREAM
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

BOURBON SAUCE
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup half-and-half
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
6 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 tablespoons bourbon
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350ºF and grease a 6-cup loaf pan with the butter.

Whisk the eggs, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and bourbon together in a large mixing bowl until very smooth. Add the half-and-half and mix well. Add the bread and raisins and let the mixture sit for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Pour mixture into the prepared pan. Bake until the pudding is set in the center, about 55 minutes. Let cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.

SPICED CREAM: Beat the cream with an electric mixer on high speed in a large mixing bowl for about 2 minutes. Add the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg and beat again until the mixture thickens and forms stiff peaks, another 1 to 2 minutes.


KENTUCKY BOURBON SAUCE: Heat the cream, half-and-half, vanilla and sugar in a saucepan over high heat, whisking, for 3 minutes. Dissolve the cornstarch in the bourbon. When bubbles form around the edges of the cream, whisk in the bourbon mixture. As the cream boils up, remove the pot from the heat and continue whisking vigorously until thoroughly blended and slightly thickened. Place over low heat and simmer for 1 minute. (This is not a thick cream sauce; it’s meant to be fairly thin.)

I have been making this recipe for about 15 years, but no one in my family eats it, so I'm not sure of the "number of servings" since I eat it all myself!!!
