Description

This Pumpkin Bread Pudding is the ultimate cozy fall dessert, transforming day-old whole wheat bread into a moist, custard-like treat. Infused with rich pumpkin puree, warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, and sweetened with brown sugar, it offers a perfect balance of sweetness and spice. Chopped dates add a subtle chewiness, while toasted pecans provide a delightful crunch. Ideal for holiday gatherings, Thanksgiving dinners, or a comforting weekend brunch, this dish is easy to prepare and brings a nostalgic, homemade warmth to any table. Serve it warm with a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent finish.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC) and grease a 2-quart shallow baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the bread cubes, chopped dates, and 1/3 cup of the chopped pecans.
  3. Transfer the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  4. In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, pumpkin puree, egg yolks, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and cloves until smooth.
  5. In a clean small bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  6. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the pumpkin mixture until just combined.
  7. Pour the pumpkin custard mixture over the bread cubes in the baking dish and toss gently to ensure all bread is coated.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining 1/3 cup of chopped pecans over the top.
  9. Bake uncovered for 1 hour, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  10. Allow to cool slightly before serving warm with a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
