Ingredients

• 8 cups, cubed Challah bread (or brioche)
• 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 cups Pumpkin puree
• 2 cups Milk
• 1 cups Heavy cream
• 4 large Eggs
• 2 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1.5 tsp Pumpkin pie spice
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 2 tbsp Powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)
• 1 tbsp Butter (for greasing the pan)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Place the cubed challah bread in a large mixing bowl and set aside.

Step 3

In a separate large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Add the pumpkin puree, milk, heavy cream, eggs, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and salt to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until fully combined and smooth.

Step 5

Pour the pumpkin custard mixture over the cubed bread. Gently toss the bread to ensure every piece is coated in the custard.

Step 6

Let the bread sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the custard.

Step 7

Pour the soaked bread mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Bake the bread pudding in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Dust with powdered sugar for garnish, if desired, and serve warm. Optionally, pair it with whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for added indulgence.
