Irish Cream Sourdough Bread Pudding

A recipe for Irish Cream Sourdough Bread Pudding. It’s the best way I can think of celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, along with a glass of Irish coffee.

I may not have been born with the luck of the Irish, but I have had the good fortune to to live in cities where the love of St. Paddy’s runs deep. I was born in New York, where neighbors proudly wore green and schools celebrated St. Patrick’s Day with almost as fervor as Christmas. I met my husband while I was in Chicago, where the river runs emerald green and bagpipes fill the air in front of Buckingham Fountain. And here, in San Francisco, the parade is the biggest draw, along with the pub crawls. Even city hall is lit brilliant green, looking very Irish indeed, or if anything, very Emerald City.

Of course, San Francisco can’t escape its connection with food, and as I was researching the ubiquitous Irish Coffee, I learned a thing or two. Did you know that the first Irish Coffee came to America here, in San Francisco? The drink was brought back by San Francisco Chronicle travel writer, Stanton Delaplane, who worked together with the owners of the Buena Vista Cafe in San Francisco to recreate the whisky spiked coffee that welcomed travelers to Shannon International Airport in Ireland. Sixty-three years and counting, Irish coffee is still served there, and I’m willing to bet you’ve had a glass or two in your lifetime, right?

I love the flavors of Irish cream, and you know I adore San Francisco, so I am excited to share a recipe that I developed for BAILEYS® Coffee Creamers Original Irish Cream. I paired the Irish Cream with classic San Francisco sourdough in a decadent and homey Irish Cream Sourdough Bread Pudding.

Dig through the layers and discover a spongy custard of Irish cream with cinnamon, vanilla, a touch of caramel, and an extra drizzle of Irish cream on top. It’s the best way I can think of celebrating this St. Patrick’s Day, along with a glass of Irish coffee.
