How to Make Pumpkin Bread Pudding With Cinnamon Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 1 cup heavy whipping cream, 1/2 cup half-and-half, 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. Add 6 cups cubed stale bread (challah or brioche recommended) to the pumpkin mixture. Gently stir until the bread is evenly moistened.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
  5. While the bread pudding chills, prepare the cinnamon sauce (see steps below).
  6. Grease a 2-quart baking dish with butter.
  7. Pour the bread pudding mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  8. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean and the pudding is set.
  9. Let the bread pudding cool slightly before serving.
  10. Serve warm, topped with the warm cinnamon sauce.
