Air Fryer Pumpkin Bread Pudding
Description
Air Fryer Pumpkin Bread Pudding -- There's something truly magical about Fall. The crisp air, the pumpkin-spiced treats - it's a time of year that we all love to look forward to each year!
Ingredients
- 16 ounces bread, French Bread, Texas Toast, or Thickly Sliced Bread
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, or half and half
- 5 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 15 ounces pumpkin puree
Instructions
- Cut your day-old bread into cubes and set aside. Using stale bread is ideal because it soaks up the custard mixture without falling apart.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt. Slowly fold in the pumpkin.
- Add the bread cubes to the custard mixture. Mix thoroughly, ensuring that all the bread is coated. Allow the bread to soak for 10-15 minutes until it absorbs most of the custard.
- Transfer the bread mixture to a baking dish that will fit inside your air fryer. If your air fryer is smaller, you may need to cook the bread pudding in batches.
- Preheat your air fryer to 320 degrees F (160°C). Place the dish into the air fryer basket and cook for 20-25 minutes until the pudding is set and the top is golden brown. The cooking time may vary based on your air fryer model, so start checking around the 15-minute mark.
- Let the bread pudding cool for a few minutes, then dust with powdered sugar and/or top with whipped cream if desired. Serve warm.
