Preparation

Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 9×13-inch (or similar) baking dish.
Whisk the pumpkin, milk, cream, sugar, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt, and cloves in a very large bowl until well blended. Fold in the bread cubes and let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes so the bread can absorb some of the custard. Re-toss and transfer the mixture to the prepared dish. (If making ahead, cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)
Bake until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool slightly, at least 20 minutes.
Serve warm or at room temperature, dusted with confectioners’ sugar, if you like, and accompanied by the whipped cream.

这道菜超出了我的预期。巨大的效果for very little effort. Highly recommend trying this one. I cut the recipe in half and still ended up with 8 generous servings.

Absolutely wonderful. Fantastic custard pumpkin flavor. I have made this several times. People request that I make this all the time. It is a favorite in my family.
