How to Make Pumpkin Bread Pudding With Caramel Rum Sauce
- **Make the Pumpkin Bread Pudding:**
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch square glass baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree, 4 large eggs, 1 cup half-and-half, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, ¼ teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gently stir in 4 cups (about 1 pound) cubed day-old bread (challah or brioche recommended). Let stand for 15 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
- Pour the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean and the custard is set.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
- **Make the Caramel Rum Sauce:**
- In a medium saucepan, combine ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup water, 4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter, ½ cup heavy cream, and 2 tablespoons dark rum (optional).
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and turns into a light amber caramel.
- Carefully whisk in the butter until melted and smooth.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and whisk in the heavy cream (it may splatter). Stir until the sauce is smooth and combined.
- Stir in the rum (if using).
- Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
- Serve the warm bread pudding drizzled generously with the caramel rum sauce.
