Leave it to serial recipe tester Christopher Kimball to not only have a favorite recipe for Maple-Whiskey Pudding Cakes but to have actually made it with various kinds of whiskey.
“We tried a few different types of whiskey here: Our favorites were Jameson for its clean, bright flavor and Rittenhouse rye for its spicy depth,” he writes in his new book, Milk Street: Tuesday Nights, which just came out this week.
“These individual desserts bake up with a gooey sauce beneath a layer of rich, tender cake,” he continues. And if the combination of maple syrup and whiskey wasn’t decadent enough, he suggests serving the “cakes warm, with vanilla ice cream or lightly sweetened whipped cream.”
You just may skip the rest of your meal and go straight for dessert.
