VEGAN Pumpkin Bread Pudding | EASY Dessert for Autumn & the Holidays! *OIL-FREE*

Pumpkin Bread Pudding
A comforting and warm alternative to pumpkin pie – also lower in fat since it has no pie crust. Serve
with Brandy Nog Crème Anglaise.
To make this, you'll want slightly stale or lightly toasted bread so that it soaks up the custard. You can
use any kind of bread you like, but I recommend something on the lighter and whiter side and not
sourdough (this is not the dish to use the heartiest wholegrain bread).. Trim away the crust and cut
into cubes. You can let it sit out overnight to dry, or toast it.
Preparing the Bread:
You will need a total of 6 – 7 cups cubed bread. The less bread, the more custard-like it will be. Trim
away the crust from about 1 pound of unsliced bread. Slice and cube. If the loaf is fresh, spread the
bread on a sheet pan and toast at 350° for about 10 – 15 minutes until dry but not brown. Otherwise,
you can just spread it out on a sheet pan and let it air dry overnight.
Preparing the Pumpkin Custard:
Preheat the oven to 350°. In a blender or food processor, combine all and blend until smooth:
1 lb. Pumpkin (canned is fine)
8 ounces medium tofu, mashed
¾ cup soy or almond milk
1 cup maple syrup
2 tsp. Cinnamon
½ tsp. Freshly grated nutmeg
1 tsp. Ginger
½ tsp. Sea salt
2 Tbs. Cornstarch or arrowroot
Lightly oil a baking dish big enough for the bread cubes to fill it half-way. Pour the Pumpkin Custard
mixture over the bread and mix well with a spoon. If desired, mix in:
½ cup raisins
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for about 40 minutes until the custard has set. Serve
warm with Brandy Nog Crème Anglaise.
Brandy Nog Crème Anglaise
In a saucepan, combine the following:
1 cup cashew crème
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 Tbs. Brandy

1 vanilla bean, split
pinch of salt
1 – 2 Tbs. Sugar, optional
Bring to a gentle simmer over low heat while stirring frequently with a wooden spoon. As it heats, it
will thicken. The sauce is ready when it is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon.
