If you are craving a delicious, mouthwatering fall bread pudding I have just the perfect treat for you... Pumpkin Bread Pudding.
My friend, Marilou (thanks, Marilou!) made this for bible study and it was a smashing hit. I have since made it for breakfast, brunch and as a dessert. Everyone almost licks their bowls clean!!!!
I hope you try this scrumptious bit of fall delight, you won't be disappointed!
STONEGABLE PUMPKIN BREAD PUDDING
10 cups cubed croissants, toasted (about 6-7 large)
2 cups - 1/2 & 1/2
1 (15 oz) can pumpkin
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup raisins or chopped dates (optional, I don't use them)
4 large eggs
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Garnish: sweetened whipped cream and pastry leaves OR milk
Preheat broiler on low. Positing rack in the top third of the oven.
Cut large croissants into big cubes.
Broil until toasted, tossing to brown all sides.
Preheat oven to 350. Spray a 13x 9 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 & 1/2, pumpkin, brown sugar, raisins, eggs, cinnamon, vanilla and ginger and nuts. Stir well.
Pour mixture over croissants, tossing gently to coat. Let stand for 30 minutes.
Bake 35-40 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
Cut into squares to serve (I just scoop it out). Garnish with whipped cream and pastry leaves.
*Look for savory and sweet pastry leaves on Saturday's post.
I am joining Alicia at A Beautiful Mess for Tasty Tuesdays. There are some very yummy recipes to peruse!
I am joining Lisa at Blessed With Grace for Tempt Your Tummy Tuesday. Another winner meme with lots of Autumn goodies!
Your pics are beautiful and this sounds great Yvonne! It's always nice to find another way to enjoy pumpkin:@)
ReplyDeletewow!!! Sounds and looks delicious
ReplyDeleteStop, stop, stop!! You're gonna make me crazy with all your great recipes. This is gonna be an all time favorite because I'm a bread pudding nut. And pumpkin too, so what's not to love? Instead of whipped cream I'm going to pair it with Creme Anglaise sauce. Yum.
ReplyDeleteYvonne, this just looks delicious! I must try it. Mr. Magpie and I were discussing the fact that pumpkin is one of our favorite foods, and I'm sure he would love this. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBe sure and take a look at the recipe I shared on my post today. It's a coconut cake recipe that my friend Nancy did for my birthday this summer (we also served coconut cake at my MIL's 80th), and everyone wanted the recipe. Another friend always takes it to Bible Study, pot lucks, Christmas parties and just about everywhere she has to take a dish because it is a smash hit. It's extrememely moist and delicious. I was finally able to get Nancy tonight to get the recipe.
Happy Foodie Friday...
XO,
Sheila :-)
Yvonne, I love pumpkin and I love bread pudding so this sounds like a winner to me! Thanks for the recipe. I am going to try it.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

I could eat pumpkin eight days a week ;o) My favorite coffee shop was sold out of pumpkin donuts today, and come to find out, everyone is ordering them ahead. They can't keep up. I love, love, love bread pudding. I really need to make this!
ReplyDeleteOh Yvonne, I LOVE bread pudding and this sounds scrumptious - a delicious diet buster for sure! But no matter - this is going in my "must try" folder!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend and thanks for the share!

I am not generally a bread pudding fan, which is strange, since I am from the South, and Southerners LOVE bread pudding. However, I am definitely going to try this. It looks and sounds fabulous, and I LOVE anything pumpkin.
ReplyDeleteAnd, as always, your presentation is totally lovely.
Thanks for sharing.
Love,
Patti
Oh, I wanted to let you know, I snagged your new blog button. I had your old one, but I decided to use the new one instead.
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
Patti
scrumptious.
ReplyDeleteA marriage made in heave pumpkin and croissants in bread pudding. Joni
ReplyDeleteOh my....I can't wait to try!
ReplyDeleteWhat a good combination..looks so yummy to me! :D
ReplyDeleteThis is something I will try. I was thinking about bread pudding the other day. My mother made the best one ever...and she never used raisins either. She did use lots of cinammon and nutmeg though. It sounds really good with the pumpkin...I suppose it would be much "mushier" if you didn't toast the croissants first? Thanks for the great recipe. I come here often but don't comment very often. Just wanted you to know that I love this space! Hugs-Diana
ReplyDeleteMy goodness that looks good.
ReplyDeleteIt does look so yummy!! You make everything look so pretty...I can only imagine how it taste! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh, darlin', you just saved my life. I am needing a fantastic but EASY recipe for a big "friends get-together" and this is PERFECT. Even I ought to be able to do this one, do you think? It sounds so delicious..
ReplyDeleteThanks, dear one.

This looks so wonderful! Love the leaf garnish too, how very special.
ReplyDeleteYummy! Your photos are always so incredible. I could take a bite right off my screen. ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteYvonne! This looks amazing... and not too difficult to make! I love that :D
ReplyDeleteI also looked at your beautiful fall tablescape. Your table accessories are so adorable. The little squirrels ~ the gourds and minis... and the wreath surrounding the centerpiece!
It's all perfect!
*enjoy a sweet weekend*

Sounds wonderful, Yvonne!
ReplyDeleteI've had something similar made with Krispy Kreme donuts -- the first bite or two seemed really good but then there was a sickly sweet aftertaste. I think I'd like your recipe far better (love croissants in any form or fashion!).
Your Fall Brunch Tablescape was spectacular, btw. Sorry I didn't get by sooner to check it out.
Wishing you a lovely weekend!
Bill
With croissants, of course it must be good!
ReplyDeleteHow pretty and it looks delicious! The pastry leaves are a cute touch.
ReplyDeleteHi Yvonne,
ReplyDeleteI will be trying this for sure-we love bread pudding and pumpkin!
I have made several of your pumpkin smoothies-it is a real treat.
Have a good weekend,
Carolyn

Oh my goodness, this sounds terrific, and I am looking for the perfect dessert for a dinner party tomorrow night. This just may be it...thanks.
