directions

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Butter sides and bottom of 8 eight ounce ramekins or souffle dishes, approximately 2 inches high and 5 inches in diameter.
  • To prepare custard, whisk together in a bowl the eggs, pumpkin, half-and-half, sugars, vanilla and spices.
  • Pour through a strainer and set aside.
  • Remove crust from bread cut into eight 3-inch squares 1/2 inch thick.
  • Cut the remaining bread into 3/4-inch cubes (you'll need 4 cups of cubed bread).
  • Place one of the 3-inch squares of bread in the bottom of each of the buttered ramekins.
  • Top with 1/2 cup of the cubes of bread and then pour in six ounces of the the custard.
  • Let sit for 30 minutes so the bread has a chance to absorb the custard, then top off with a little more custard.
  • Place the ramekins in a shallow pan with water and bake in the oven for 40 to 45 minutes.
  • Let the pudding cool at room temperature.
  • Serve while still warm.
  • To serve unmold the ramekins and place on a plate with the top side up.

  1. If you appreciate pumpkin AND bread pudding as much as I do, you probably shouldn't pass on this recipe ~ It makes for A VERY TASTY PUDDING DESSERT! I used cinnamon-raisin bread & IT WAS GREAT! Will keep your recipe around! [Tagged, made & reviewed as part of my Bread Pudding theme in My-3-Chefs]
