Ingredients

Units Scale

Main Bread Pudding:

  • 6 cups day-old bread (cubed – brioche, challah, or French bread preferred)
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the praline topping:

  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

    • Optional sauce:

    • 1/2 cup heavy cream
    • 1/4 cup brown sugar
    • 1 tablespoon butter
    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Place the cubed bread in the dish.
  2. Mix the custard: In a large bowl, whisk together milk, cream, pumpkin puree, eggs, sugars, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
  3. Soak the bread: Pour the pumpkin custard evenly over the bread cubes. Press down lightly to ensure the bread is fully soaked. Let sit for 15–20 minutes.
  4. Prepare the topping: Mix chopped pecans, brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the soaked bread mixture.
  5. Bake: Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until golden brown and set in the center.
  6. Make the sauce: Combine cream, brown sugar, and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, for 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
  7. Serve: Serve the bread pudding warm with a drizzle of praline sauce if desired.

Notes

  • You can prepare this ahead of time and bake just before serving.
  • For added texture, toast the pecans before mixing into the topping.
