I originally shared this recipe on the blog a couple of years ago after adapting it from here, and let me tell you this dish has become a fall classic that we all look forward to year after year. It's in that dangerous category of desserts that aren't too sweet so you can actually keep eating it (and eating and eating and eating) until it's all gone! (which is exactly what I did last week - oops!)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, whisk together the cream, milk, pumpkin, sugar and salt, eggs, and spices. In a separate bowl, melt the butter, and toss the bread cubes in to coat them, then add the bread to the larger bowl with pumpkin spice mix, making sure all pieces are coated evenly. Place the bread mix in an ungreased casserole dish and bake until the custard is set, about 25-35 minutes. Seriously one of my favorite desserts of all time.
Yum! I love pumpkin bread pudding. Try making it next time with challah bread and topping it with whipped cream- heavely!
I've never had bread pudding, but it's one of my dad's favorites. So, I just may try this, it looks good and I do like pumpkin. A few days ago I posted a list of fall desserts that I want to try before the season is over, so I'll be adding yours to my list!
