PUDDING:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease a 6-cup (9 ¼ by 5 ¼ by 2 ¾ inch) loaf pan with 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 at least 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 5 minutes.
To serve, cut the pudding into 1 inch thick slices, lay slice in center of plate, spoon some of the bourbon sauce over the pudding and top with the spiced cream. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and confectioners’ sugar.

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 the 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. (note: this sauce is meant to be fairly thin).
