“I have never been a bread-pudding fan,” writes Marie Hernandez of Chicago. “But after trying the pumpkin bread pudding at Wildfire restaurant in Oak Brook, Illinois, I think I’ve changed my mind. Had I know that this dessert could be so good, I would have started eating it long ago.”
Do as the restaurant does, and serve this with sweetened whipped cream.
Makes 6 servings.
