Ingredients

• 8 cups (cubed) Brioche bread
• 1 cup Pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup (packed) Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 3 whole Large eggs
• 2 whole Large egg yolks
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (for greasing)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Spread the cubed brioche bread evenly into the prepared baking dish and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, whole milk, heavy cream, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Add the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt to the mixture, and whisk again until fully combined.

Step 5

Slowly pour the custard mixture over the brioche bread cubes, ensuring that all pieces are soaked. Lightly press down on the bread cubes with a spatula to help them absorb the liquid.

Step 6

Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to fully saturate the bread.

Step 7

Bake the bread pudding in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the custard is set, and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Dust with powdered sugar for garnish, if desired, and serve warm. Optionally, accompany with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
