Chop the nuts very roughly. Roast in a pan without fat, take out. Cut bread into cubes (approx. 1.5 x 1.5 cm) and place in a large bowl. Mix with 220 g sugar. Mix milk, condensed milk, 1 tsp Tabasco and eggs.
Pour over the bread and mix everything. Leave to stand for about 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
Preheat oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/circulating air: 150 °C/gas: see manufacturer). Grease an ovenproof dish (approx. 20 x 31 cm). Mix half of the nuts into the bread mixture. Pour into the baking dish, smooth it down.
1⁄2 Add TL Tabasco drop by drop and bake in a hot oven for 40-45 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt 50 g butter in a pan for the icing. Add 220 g sugar and caramelise while stirring until golden brown. Add whiskey, bring to the boil and cook until the caramel dissolves. Stir in remaining nuts.
Remove the bread pudding from the oven and immediately add the caramel icing. Cut the bread pudding into about 6 pieces and serve warm. Decorate with raspberries if desired.
