Pumpkin Bread Pudding with Caramel-Pecan Sauce

Ingredients

  • 6 cups of day-old bread, cut into cubes
  • 2 cups of pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 1 cup of heavy cream
  • 1 cup of brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 cup of pecans, toasted and chopped
  • For the caramel sauce: 1 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of butter, and 1/4 cup of heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab a large baking dish and lightly grease it.
  2. In a big bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, milk, heavy cream, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until everything is well combined.
  3. Add the bread cubes to the mixture and stir gently until all the pieces are soaked. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes so those flavors can really soak in.
  4. Fold in the chopped pecans, and then transfer the bread mixture into your greased baking dish. Spread it evenly, and pop it into the oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. While that’s baking, let’s make the caramel sauce. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and cream, and stir until everything is mixed well. Let it simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.
  6. Once the bread pudding is done, takes it out of the oven and let it cool for a bit. Serve warm with a generous drizzle of that homemade caramel sauce on top. Trust me; it’s going to be divine!

This Pumpkin Bread Pudding is perfect for family gatherings or just a cozy night in. It’s filled with warmth, flavor, and that sweet touch that makes desserts so special. Enjoy it, and share it with the people you love!
