Description

Perfect for breakfast or dessert, this easy-to-make recipe features cubes of French bread soaked in a rich pumpkin custard and baked until golden and set.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 16 oz loaf French bread or Texas toast (we used Texas toast for this recipe)
  • 1 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 15 oz can pumpkin
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 5 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the bread pudding.
  2. Prepare Baking Dish: Spray a 9″x13″ baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  3. Cut Bread: Slice the French bread or Texas toast into 1″-2″ squares and place them into a large mixing bowl.
  4. Mix Custard: In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, heavy cream, canned pumpkin, eggs, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and nutmeg until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Soak Bread: Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes and gently stir to coat all pieces evenly. Let the mixture soak for about 20 minutes, allowing the bread to absorb the custard.
  6. Bake: Spread the soaked bread evenly into the prepared baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
  7. Serve: Once baked, cut into slices and serve warm. Optionally, add a scoop of ice cream and drizzle with caramel sauce for extra indulgence.

Notes

  • Use day-old bread for best absorption and texture.
  • Adjust the spices to taste; more cinnamon or nutmeg can enhance the warm flavor.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and heavy cream with plant-based alternatives.
  • This pudding pairs wonderfully with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
