Description
A comforting dessert made with cubes of bread soaked in a rich pumpkin custard, baked to golden perfection.
Ingredients
6 cups cubed day-old brioche or French bread
1 ½ cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
¾ cup canned pumpkin puree
3 large eggs
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
¼ tsp ginger
½ tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
2. Place bread cubes in the prepared baking dish.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together milk, cream, pumpkin puree, eggs, sugars, spices, vanilla, and salt.
4. Pour the mixture evenly over the bread cubes. Press lightly to soak all the bread.
5. Let sit for 10–15 minutes so the bread absorbs the custard.
6. Bake for 45–50 minutes until the center is set and the top is golden.
7. Cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with whipped cream or caramel sauce.
Notes
For extra richness, add ½ cup chopped pecans or chocolate chips before baking.
