Chocolate Chip Panettone Bread Pudding with Bourbon-Butter Sauce

This Chocolate Chip Panettone Bread Pudding by itself is so decadent and luxurious! But it is the Bourbon-Butter sauce that puts this dessert over the top. And provides a very elegant finish.

Chocottone is Panettone with Chocolate Chips

Unlike our favorite Panettone Bread Pudding recipe, this Chocolate Chip Panettone Bread Pudding is made out of Chocottone. What is Chocottone? It’s Italian Sweet Bread, or Panettone with chocolate chips instead of candied citron and raisins. It already comes with chocolate chips in it, that’s why you won’t see them in the ingredient list.

Chocolate chip bread pudding makes this Chocotone look good and sophisticated. Yet this bread pudding is so simple and delicious!

Bourbon Butter Sauce

The box also says that it’s “made for ice cream”, but I think that the bread pudding version of it is a match in heaven for Bourbon Butter sauce.

I am so pleased with how the Bourbon Butter Sauce turned out! It is soft, creamy and smooth. And it should definitely be served warm. If made in advance, whisk and reheat before serving. This sauce is perfect for topping this bread pudding, and it would also work on other desserts, such as a cobbler or a pie.
Chocolate Chip Panettone Bread Pudding with Bourbon-Butter SauceI’ve had regular Panettone before and even made a Panettone Bread Pudding yearly in the last 10 years or so (click here for the recipe of a regular Panettone Bread Pudding), but until now I have never had Chocolate Chip version of the bread. However making the bread pudding out of Chocottone was always on the back of my mind. So glad it finally happened!

How much Panettone to use for this Bread Pudding

This recipe for Chocolate Chip Panettone Bread Pudding uses just 1 pound, which is slightly more than half of the boxed 26 oz loaf. The bread itself is seasoned with the holiday spices. So if you get one as a present for Christmas , this is a great way to make use of this Italian treat. All you need is 9×9 inch square pan. At least, that’s what I used.

And it’s not just a dessert. It is a pretty  good breakfast if you ask me. Pop a slice of this Chocolate Chip Panettone Bread Pudding into a toaster in the morning and then add some butter or even cream cheese on top.

You can make this Chocolate Chip Panettone Bread Pudding for Thanksgiving, Christmas or a New Year – what a perfect treat for any holiday.

I always like to dust my Panettone bread pudding with confectionery sugar before serving. And take a picture of the dusting process as well. Even though this one appears quite smudged.  But ith warm bourbon butter sauce all around and a sprinkle of confectionery sugar on top it looks quite elegant and is super tasty.

  • 2 cups powdered sugar (more for decoration)

  • Whisk in vanilla and bourbon. Immediately add the egg yolk and stir until well blended.

    Can I make this using only almond milk, no cream?

      Unfortunately, it won’t work with almond milk only because almond milk won’t set up the pudding texture 🙁

    Are you using liquid whipping cream or the already whipped cream like cool whip? Im giving this put as gifts for Christmas. Sounds delicious!

      Yes, liquid whipping cream. Do not use cool whip because it will be overly sweet.

    this looks perfect – I have guests coming for Christmas who don’t drink anything – do you think I could substitute orange juice for the bourbon?? My thought is to make 2 sauces – yours with bourbon and another for those who won’t “eat” bourbon sauce. Any suggestions?

      How about you use this non-alcoholic Cinnamon Brown Sugar syrup that I used on the original Panettone Bread Pudding recipe?

    OMG! I made this for a church pot luck (left the sauce off) and when I turned around it was GONE! Everyone gave it rave reviews and asked me to bring it next time.

    This looks so good! Do you think I can add chocolate chips between the layers to it?
