Pumpkin Bread Pudding Ingredients
- 4 cups of cubed day-old bread (French or Brioche works best)
- 1 cup of canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1 cup of whole milk
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves
- A pinch of salt
Step-by-Step Preparation
Creating our Decadent Pumpkin Bread Pudding is a labor of love, and we want to share the joy of making it with you. Below, we present a step-by-step guide to crafting this delightful dessert in the comfort of your kitchen.
Step 1: Preparing the Bread
Start by cutting day-old bread into bite-sized cubes, ensuring that each piece is similar in size. This consistency guarantees an even distribution of flavors throughout the pudding.
Step 2: Mixing the Pumpkin Custard
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, whole milk, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and a pinch of salt. Whisk the mixture until all the ingredients are well incorporated, forming a smooth and velvety custard.
Step 3: Assembling the Pudding
Gently fold the cubed bread into the pumpkin custard, making sure every piece is coated in the luscious mixture. Allow the bread to soak for about 15-20 minutes, enabling it to absorb all the flavors.
Step 4: Baking to Perfection
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the soaked bread and custard mixture into a well-greased baking dish. Smooth out the top and ensure an even layer for consistent baking. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the pudding turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Step 5: Serving with Finesse
Once baked to perfection, remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool slightly. To add a touch of elegance, drizzle some caramel sauce or sprinkle powdered sugar on top. Serve warm and watch as your guests fall in love with this autumnal masterpiece.
A Perfect Pairing
Our Decadent Pumpkin Bread Pudding pairs exceptionally well with a variety of accompaniments. Whether you prefer a dollop of freshly whipped cream, a scoop of velvety vanilla ice cream, or a sprinkle of crushed pecans, these additions elevate the dessert to new heights of deliciousness.
