Why this pairing works
Pumpkin bread already has the spices and lavender baked in, so the custard only needs vanilla and a little Lavender Sugar. Maple sauce adds a buttery finish that tastes like the holidays.
Serves 8 Prep 20 min + 30 min soak Cook 45 min
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Lavender Bread Mix (Pumpkin), baked per package directions, a day or two ahead
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup Lavender Sugar, plus 1 Tbsp for the top
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup Lavender Maple Syrup, for the sauce
- 3 Tbsp butter, for the sauce
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
- Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes and spread on a sheet pan. Toast at 325°F for 10 minutes so they hold their shape. Butter an 8x8-inch baking dish.
- Whisk the eggs, milk, cream, 1/4 cup Lavender Sugar and vanilla in a large bowl. Add the bread cubes, press them down and soak 30 minutes.
- Pour into the dish, sprinkle with 1 Tbsp Lavender Sugar and bake at 350°F for 40 to 45 minutes, until puffed, golden and the center reads 160°F.
- For the sauce, simmer the maple syrup, butter and salt in a small pan for 2 minutes, stirring.
- Cool the pudding 10 minutes. Serve warm with the maple sauce spooned over.
Serve it with: Lavender Ground Coffee (Pumpkin Spice)
Make it your own
- Fold 1/2 cup chocolate chips or dried cranberries in with the bread.
- Serve with a mug of Pumpkin Spice Lavender Coffee.
