Chocolate-Pumpkin-Pecan Bread Pudding

October 2, 2012 by Denise Browning Leave a Comment / THIS POST MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE SALES LINKS. PLEASE SEE MY _FULL DISCLOSURE POLICY_ FOR DETAILS


There will be a potluck tomorrow at the Ladies Bible Class that I attend. It was said that each of us should bring a dish that you crave during this season. “One dish???” I thought. Well, that’s the most difficult part!!! I absolutely love food. And my mind is always full of ideas. Recipes, ah, I have tons and tons of them, as well as cravings. 🙂 “I have to narrow down all the options a bit,” I told myself… otherwise, I’ll wind up showing up there empty-handed. Since apple, pumpkin, pecans, and sweet potato dishes are my fall favs —  with chocolate and bread being my all time-favorites regardless of the season– I decided to make a Chocolate-Pumpkin-Pecan Bread Pudding this time.

All I can say is that I wish you were there to taste at least a spoonful. I must admit that I made not one but two baking dishes of the bread pudding–  one for the ladies and one for my family, of course. It just wouldn’t be fair to them (read “me”) to not be able to enjoy some too, don’t you agree? 😉

Enjoy the season — and this plate-licking bread pudding too!!!!!!!!

Preheat oven to 350° F (about 180° C).

Spoon bread mixture into a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake, covered, for 35 minutes. Uncover and bake for additional 15 minutes. During these last 15 minutes of baking, prepare the Chocolate-Pecan Sauce as follows.

To make the sauce: Heat pecans in a medium skillet over medium-low heat, stirring often, 3 to 5 minutes or until lightly toasted and fragrant.

Cook brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, and cocoa powder in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla and pecans.

Remove bread pudding from the oven; drizzle/spoon with the Chocolate-Pecan Sauce. Bake for 5 minutes or until sauce is begins to bubble. Serve by itself or with vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!

Note: Recipe based on Caramel-Pecan-Pumpkin Bread Puddings from Southern Living magazine.
