Ingredients

Scale

Bread Pudding

  • 5 pieces Canyon Bakehouse Mountain White bread, cut into 1-inch squares
  • ¾ cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1 cup Canned Pumpkin Puree
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • ½ cup Whole Pecans

Toppings

  • ¾ cup Sugar
  • ½ cup Coconut Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Almond Extract
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the bread pudding.
  2. Prepare the Bread: Grease a 9-inch pie dish with coconut oil or butter. Cut the bread into 1-inch squares and spread evenly in the prepared dish.
  3. Make Custard Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy whipping cream, eggs, pumpkin puree, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly blended.
  4. Combine and Bake: Pour the pumpkin custard mixture evenly over the bread cubes in the pie dish. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
  5. Prepare Topping Sauce: While the pudding bakes, combine sugar, coconut oil, almond extract, and cinnamon in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved and the ingredients are melted and blended, then keep on low heat to stay warm.
  6. Add Pecans: About 10 minutes before the baking time is complete, sprinkle the whole pecans over the pudding and continue baking the remaining time to toast the nuts.
  7. Finish and Serve: Remove the bread pudding from the oven and immediately drizzle the warm cinnamon almond topping over the dish. Serve while warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use Canyon Bakehouse Mountain White bread for a gluten-free option.
  • Ensure the bread cubes are evenly coated with the custard mixture for best absorption.
  • Keep the topping sauce warm on the stove to easily drizzle over the pudding when serving.
  • You can substitute pecans with walnuts or leave nuts out for a nut-free version.
  • Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
