Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf challah or brioche bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Optional: 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Spread bread cubes in the prepared baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together milk, heavy cream, pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, egg yolks, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread cubes, pressing down gently to ensure all bread is soaked.
- If using, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the top.
- Let stand for 20-30 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the pudding is set and golden brown on top. A knife inserted into the center should come out mostly clean.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of maple syrup for an extra touch of indulgence.
