Ingredients

• 8 cups (cubed) day-old brioche or challah bread
• 1.5 cups pumpkin puree
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
• 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing the baking dish)
• 1 cup honey
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (for syrup)
• 0.25 cup heavy cream (for syrup)
• 0.25 teaspoons salt (for syrup)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the tablespoon of unsalted butter.

Step 2

Spread the cubed bread evenly in the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the pumpkin mixture evenly over the bread cubes, making sure all the bread pieces are covered and soaked. Let it sit for 10 minutes to absorb the liquid.

Step 5

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set when gently pressed.

Step 6

While the pudding is baking, prepare the Dutch honey syrup. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter, heavy cream, and salt. Cook and stir until the butter has melted and the mixture is smooth, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 7

Once the bread pudding is finished, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Drizzle the Dutch honey syrup generously over individual servings of the warm pumpkin bread pudding. Enjoy!
