Pumpkin bread pudding
I roasted a turkey for the first time this Thanksgiving Day, if you leave out those nightmares I was having about the bird coming out charred from the oven, everything went well without a hitch. In the previous years we were either joining our friends for dinner or flying to India during thanksgiving weekend, and thereby depending on what we chose, made desserts to take along or hauled those oversized bags to the airport. We had friends over for Thanksgiving dinner last week, they brought in lovely home made pies and just for the sake of not letting any celebration go off without making a dessert I made a pumpkin bread pudding. I used a recipe from Pillsbury website which sounded different from the conventional bread pudding recipes as it calls for bread crumbs instead of pieces. The baked pudding resembles a cake in form and texture, with a softer and richer feel to it, something I would describe as a pudding cake. It might not be a bad idea to experiment with other fruit purees in this recipe.
This is my entry to the Festive food fair event hosted by Anna of Morsels & Musings, do check out the round up for fabulous holiday meal ideas. Thank you Anna.

3 eggs
1 1/4 cups sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 cup butter melted
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 3/4 cups Plain Bread Crumbs
2 cups milk
1 cup canned pumpkin
1/2-cup raisins
For spiced whipped cream
1 cup whipping cream
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon ginger or ¼ tsp nutmeg
Preheat oven to 350°F, spray 8 or 9-inch square pan with cooking spray (or use butter). In a mixing bowl beat eggs well, add sugar, spices, butter, vanilla, and beat again. Add bread crumbs, milk and pumpkin and gently mix. Keep for 10 minutes. Add raisins, mix well and pour into the prepared pan. Bake at 350°F for 30-40 minutes, check doneness using a knife or tester. Cool on a wire rack, unmold, and slice into squares. Serve hot or cold topped with spiced whipped cream. Leftover cranberry –apple-orange sauce worked well with this pudding, and so will any other berry puree or preserve.

Mmm! I can smell the nutmeg!! Bread crumbs must have given the pudding a different texture altogether. Wow!
Archana, Pumpkin pudding looks delicious.
i have a recipe for a marmalade pudding using breadcrumbs, have been meaning to put it up for a while. I guess this is how it might work!
That looks really good!
Wow!!! Archana...that's what we call a treat to eye. Beautiful, beautiful,presentation!!! i am just speechless. You rock girl.i am definitely sure that it tastes as yummy as it looks. I am not a fan of pumpkin but will really try it with mango puree :) Thankyou Archana for sharing.

Hope you had a wonderful thanksgiving. Going by your pictures, I bet your guests had a lovely thanksgiving dessert. Take care.

Archana,
I'm so attracted by this intrigue recipe (using bread crumb) too. I'm not a fan of pumpkin but I'll bear in mind using other veg/fruit as you mentioned, as I simply can't resist any custard-alike dessert! Your pumpkin pudding looks so elegant and festive under your magic hand! Really beautiful!

Thank you Sri for these kind words, you did light up my day. I am not a pumpkin person myself, but this was different from the bread puddings that I am used to.
Mandira
Yes I am, but it was fun. I have some puree remaining which I might use for pancakes or something. Thank you.
Linda
Thank you Linda, I wish I had a good pic of the table to share. By the time turkey came out, I was so exhausted with excitement and totally messed up those photos.
Hyderabadi's
Thank you.
Ashwini
Thank you. It was different from the usual bread puddings, but I would say that you could make someone to believe that it is a cake.
Nabeela

Thanks Lakshmi
Faffer
Thank you, hope you had a good one too.
Shankari
Thank you dear.
Gattina
Thank you friend. I am not a big fan of pumpkin based desserts too, but tried this one since it sounded so different. I get a feeling that this recipe might work well with berries and even with pears and peaches probabaly.

Thank you. Yes it is, especially around this time of the year you will find it everywhere. During the rest of the months, look for it near the canned fruit section.
Meeta

You take very good photos yourself Shaheen. Thank you for these kind words.
Meena
Thank you Meena, hope you will give this a try when you find some time.
Hi,
I'm very surprised because your recipe is similar to a typical panamenian one, but your decoration is better. I'll try it.
Your pics are very cute.
Congratulations.
Grethel
Looks yummy! How about a ( request) wondeful Beetroot cake recipe from you Archana.... Thanks in advance... Happy Holidays and New year.

hi,,,i would like to know if i can use fresh pumpkin instead of the canned ones....
I think you can. Just cook the pumpkin pieces for a short while ( you don't have to get it thoroughly cooked ) and puree it.
