Ingredients

• 8 cups (cubed) Day-old bread (preferably brioche or challah)
• 1 cup Pumpkin puree
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing the baking dish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Spread the cubed day-old bread evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the pumpkin custard mixture evenly over the bread cubes, ensuring all the bread is soaked in the liquid. Gently press down on the bread to help it absorb the custard.

Step 5

Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the top of the bread mixture.

Step 6

Allow the bread pudding to sit for 10-15 minutes to let the bread absorb more of the custard mixture.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
