Pumpkin and chocolate pair particularly well together. This is a seasonal riff on my very popular Hawaiian Chocolate Bread Pudding. It is a creamy, chocolatey, pumpkin and spice delight that takes just a few minutes of active prep time.

Ingredients

Scale

2 t butter

1 1/2 loaves King’s Original Hawaiian Bread, sliced into 3/4” slices

1 12-ounce package of Guittard or other good quality chocolate chips

8 eggs, lightly beaten

15-ounce can of pumpkin puree

3 cups whipping cream

2 cups of whole milk

2/3 cup sugar

2 T vanilla extract or vanilla paste

2 t ground cinnamon

1/2 t ground ginger

1/4 t cloves

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 300 degrees. Butter a 13 x 9 x 2″ glass or ceramic baking pan or a 12″ Spanish cazuela.
  2. Arrange half the bread in the bottom of the baking dish so the slices cover the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle the bread with half the chocolate chips. Cover the chocolate chips with a second layer of bread slices and the remaining chocolate chips. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, mix the rest of the ingredients until combined. 
  4. Slowly pour the pumpkin mixture over the bread and chocolate chips so the bread is able to absorb all of the mixture. If you pour too fast the pan may overflow. Gently press down on any bread that is not soaked in the mixture to make sure there are no dry spots. 
  5. At this point you can bake the bread pudding, or you can allow it to rest in the fridge for a few hours or overnight. If you plan to let it rest, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until 30 minutes to an hour before you bake it. Allow it to come to room temperature before you bake it.
  6. Cook for an hour and 15 minutes and check for doneness by inserting a knife into the middle of the pudding. If it is still eggy and runny it is not done. Check every 10 minutes until done. It can take  one hour and 30 minutes or longer to cook. 
  7. When the pudding is no longer runny in the middle, remove it from the oven and let it sit 30 minutes before serving. You can keep the pudding warm for longer by covering it with aluminum foil.
