Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 6 cups of cubed day-old bread
- 1 cup of canned pumpkin puree
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1 cup of milk
- 3/4 cup of brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of chopped pecans (optional)
- Whipped cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Place the cubed bread in the prepared baking dish.

Pumpkin Spice Bread Pudding has a rich history dating back to the early 19th century, when it was a popular way to use up stale bread. This comforting dessert gained widespread popularity in the United States, particularly during the fall and winter seasons. Renowned chefs like Ina Garten and Bobby Flay have put their own spin on this classic dish, incorporating seasonal spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves to enhance the pumpkin flavor. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in cozy bakeries and restaurants across the country, with some establishments adding a decadent caramel or bourbon sauce for an extra indulgent touch. To make the perfect Pumpkin Spice Bread Pudding, it's crucial to use high-quality pumpkin puree and day-old bread to achieve the ideal texture and flavor. For a unique twist, some chefs substitute traditional bread with croissants or brioche, elevating the dish to a whole new level of deliciousness.
