How to Make Pumpkin Maple Bread Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly spray a 3-quart casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. In the casserole dish, combine 4 cups cubed raisin bread and 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together: 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 2 large eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup heavy cream, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread and pecans in the casserole dish.
  6. Let the bread soak for at least 1 hour, gently pressing down on the bread to ensure it absorbs the custard. (Can also soak up to 2 hours in the refrigerator).
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-75 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown and set.
  8. While the bread pudding bakes, prepare the hard sauce: Remove the lid from a jar of your favorite store bought hard sauce (about 1 cup).
  9. Place the jar in a microwave-safe bowl and fill the bowl with water halfway up the sides of the jar.
  10. Microwave on high for 30-40 seconds, or until warmed through.
  11. Remove from microwave and stir in 1 teaspoon of maple extract.
  12. Once the bread pudding is cooked, let it cool slightly before drizzling generously with the warm maple hard sauce. Serve warm and enjoy!
