Ingredients

• 6 cups (cubed) French bread (day-old)
• 1 cup Pumpkin puree
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 3 whole Large eggs
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts
• 0.25 cup Raisins (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Grease the inside of your Crock Pot with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Cut day-old French bread into small cubes, measuring 6 cups, and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, whole milk, eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Gently fold the bread cubes into the pumpkin mixture, ensuring all pieces are coated evenly. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.

Step 5

Stir in the chopped walnuts and optional raisins, if desired.

Step 6

Transfer the bread mixture into the greased Crock Pot, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Set the Crock Pot to 'Low' and cook for 3 hours, or until the custard is set and the edges are lightly browned.

Step 8

Once cooked, turn off the Crock Pot and let the bread pudding cool for 15 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Scoop portions into bowls and sprinkle with powdered sugar for garnish. Serve warmly, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
