Ingredients

• 6 cups stale bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1.5 cups pumpkin puree
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup light brown sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, for greasing the baking dish
• 1 cup heavy cream (for ginger cream)
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Spread the cubed stale 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, light brown sugar, eggs, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the pumpkin mixture evenly over the bread cubes in the baking dish. Gently press down the bread with a spatula to help it absorb the liquid.

Step 5

Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the custard.

Step 6

Bake the bread pudding in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set but slightly soft. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.

Step 7

While the bread pudding is baking, prepare the ginger cream. In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and ground ginger until soft peaks form.

Step 8

Serve the pumpkin bread pudding warm with a dollop of ginger cream on top. Enjoy!
