Time 1h

Yield 14 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup coconut milk
1 15-ounce can organic pumpkin
1/2 cup brown sugar (can use maple syrup)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon cloves
10 cups cubed day-old bread of your choice (about 10 to 12 slices of sandwich bread, depending on the thickness of slices)
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips (Guittard and Ghirardelli are among those that are nondairy)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 14 4-ounce ramekins (single-serving ceramic dishes) or a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking dish.
  • In a blender, process coconut milk, pumpkin, brown sugar, salt and spices until smooth. In a large bowl, toss the bread cubes with the pumpkin mixture and chocolate chips until each bread cube is coated.
  • If using ramekins: Evenly sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar into the bottom of each greased ramekin. Fill each ramekin to the top with the mixture and lightly press it down with the back of a spoon. If using a 9-by-13 baking dish: Fill the baking dish with the mixture and lightly press it down with the back of a spoon. Evenly sprinkle about 2 tablespoons brown sugar over the top of the bread pudding. The brown sugar will help the pudding to caramelize on the edges. (Steps 1 through 3 can be done up to three days in advance; store covered in the refrigerator.)
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until top is lightly browned. If using ramekins: Let the pudding cool a few minutes, then carve around the edges with a knife to loosen and unmold. Garnish with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm. If using a 9-by-13 baking dish: Let the pudding cool a few minutes before serving. Cut into portions, then garnish with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm. The pudding can be baked right before serving or earlier that day and then reheated for 8 to 10 more minutes right before serving.

Tips for Making the Perfect Chocolate Pumpkin Bread Pudding:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree. Fresh pumpkin puree will give your bread pudding a richer flavor than canned pumpkin puree. To make your own pumpkin puree, simply roast a pumpkin in the oven until it is tender, then scoop out the flesh and puree it in a food processor or blender.
  • Use high-quality chocolate. The quality of the chocolate you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your bread pudding. Use a chocolate that you love to eat on its own, such as a semisweet or bittersweet chocolate.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your bread pudding tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Bake the bread pudding in a water bath. Baking the bread pudding in a water bath will help to prevent it from drying out. To create a water bath, place the bread pudding dish in a larger baking dish filled with hot water.
  • Let the bread pudding cool before serving. The bread pudding will need to cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will give it time to set and develop its flavor.

Conclusion:

Chocolate pumpkin bread pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor and moist, pumpkiny texture, this bread pudding is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
