In a word...yum! I have never been a bread pudding fan but the pumpkin made me try it. I didn't have vanilla bean so I used regular vanilla and it was delicious! I put a tad too much bourbon in the sauce but the med didn't seem to mind. I already have a request for this on Thanksgiving. Happy Baking!
