Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Whisk half and half, pumpkin, dark brown sugar, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and vanilla in a large bowl. Fold in bread cubes. Transfer mixture to an 11x7 glass baking dish. Let stand 15 minutes. Bake pudding for about 40 minutes or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.

3. Meanwhile prepare caramel sauce. Whisk brown sugar and butter in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat until butter melts. Whisk in cream and stir until sugar dissolves and sauce is smooth, about 3 minutes.

4. Serve bread pudding warm with caramel sauce and optional whipped cream. Eat this while sitting down in case you pass out because this is sooooo delicious!
