Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups (cubed) French bread (day-old)
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 3 whole Large eggs
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts
- 0.25 cup Raisins (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
Grease the inside of your Crock Pot with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter to prevent sticking.
Cut day-old French bread into small cubes, measuring 6 cups, and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, whole milk, eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Gently fold the bread cubes into the pumpkin mixture, ensuring all pieces are coated evenly. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
Stir in the chopped walnuts and optional raisins, if desired.
Transfer the bread mixture into the greased Crock Pot, spreading it out evenly.
Set the Crock Pot to 'Low' and cook for 3 hours, or until the custard is set and the edges are lightly browned.
Once cooked, turn off the Crock Pot and let the bread pudding cool for 15 minutes before serving.
Scoop portions into bowls and sprinkle with powdered sugar for garnish. Serve warmly, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
