Caramel Pecan Pumpkin Bread Pudding

Published: Oct 23, 2009 Last Updated: Jun 26, 2020 by Marye 452 words. | About 3 minutes to read this article.

I saw this Caramel Pumpkin Pecan Bread Pudding recipe on the Southern Living Website and I knew that I was making it. I am, as you know, on a bourbon and pumpkin kick right now..so I added bourbon. You can certainly leave it out..but it is SO good with it.

Soaking the pudding overnight allows the flavors to blend before baking. This was an extremely moist, flavorful bread pudding, which by the way isn't usually one of my favorites. I am thinking a steaming plate of this ...a good cognac and a fire in the fireplace would be a great end to a chilly evening..and make you feel a bit like badger in Wind in the Willows.

This is a great way to have a fantastic dessert on a weeknight. You can toss it together the night before and shove it in the oven while you are fixing dinner.

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 pie pumpkin, roasted (about 4 to 4 ½ cups)
