Ingredients
  • Unsalted butter, for greasing
  • ¼ cup amaretto liqueur
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 4½ cups heavy whipping cream, divided
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 6 cups cubed day old French bread

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • ½ cup dried blueberries
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together amaretto and cornstarch. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, add 1½ cups cream. Cook until hot, about 5 minutes. Whisk in amaretto mixture, and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, add sugar, and whisk until dissolved. Set aside.
