Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Add the cubed bread to the dish, distributing evenly.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt.
- Pour the custard mixture over the bread in the baking dish. Gently press down the bread to absorb the liquid. Let it sit for 10 minutes to soak up the custard.
- In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this over the soaked bread, then drizzle with melted butter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the pudding has set. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Feel free to top with whipped cream and chopped pecans.

Notes
- Bread Choice Matters: For the best texture, use day-old French bread. If you can't find French bread, any crusty loaf will do. Just ensure it's a bit stale so it soaks up the custard without getting soggy.
- Pumpkin Puree: Make sure to use pure canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, which contains added sugars and spices.
- Customize Your Spice: Feel free to adjust the amount of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to suit your taste. Love spices? Add a pinch of cloves or allspice for an extra flavor kick.
- Dairy Alternatives: You can substitute whole milk and heavy cream with almond milk or coconut milk for a dairy-free version. The result will be slightly less rich but still delicious.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve warm, perhaps with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For a crunchy contrast, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts on top.
- Make Ahead: This pudding can be assembled a day in advance and kept in the refrigerator. Just add the topping before baking. It's perfect for stress-free holiday entertaining!
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave for a warm treat.
