Pumpkin Bread Pudding

Pumpkin Bread Pudding

Diana Rattray
Raisins or chopped pecans can be used in place of the dried cranberries, or try another chopped dried fruit.

Ingredients:

  • 8 ounces French bread, torn into small pieces, about 5 cups
  • 2 cups half-and-half, or half milk and half cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • cinnamon sugar, optional

Preparation:

Butter an 11x7-inch baking dish. Heat oven to 350°.

In a bowl, cover the torn bread with the half-and-half; set aside.

In another bowl, combine eggs, sugars, pumpkin, cranberries, melted butter, spices, and vanilla; blend well. Pour pumpkin mixture over soaked bread and stir to blend.

Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle top with cinnamon-sugar, if desired. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until set.

Serve with a vanilla dessert sauce or brown sugar sauce, whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream.
Serves 8.

Why make pumpkin pie when this is soooooo much better?! Just wonderful, including the sauce. WOW. On the brown sugar sauce on this site, I suggest halving all ingredients, as it is a lot of sauce (unless you really like to dump sauce on this and other stuff you have like ice cream, etc.). This was teh highlight of our Thanksgiving feast tonight. Easy to prepare, pretty presentation, and just...perfect. Thanks for this recipe!
