This holiday dessert takes the flavor of pumpkin pie and transforms it into a comforting bread pudding drizzled with dulce de leche. Bake it up to 2 days ahead of time, refrigerate, and reheat before serving.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 2-quart baking dish. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, milk, cream, eggs, brown sugar, salt, vanilla, cinnamon, and anise seed. Arrange bread in dish. Pour custard over bread and top with pecans. Bake until custard is set, 45 minutes. Let cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature, drizzled with dulce de leche.
Great recipe--very yummy. I made it without the anise, as I don't like that flavor. It would probably be delicious for a Thanksgiving brunch, too. The dulce de leche was great, too, but it took much longer than the 45 min to an hour that the recipe said to reduce. It took more like 2/12-3 hours to reduce.

Meant to say used 1 egg instead of 2 :)
This was delicious. Not too sweet and a nice fall dessert that is a nice break from the usual pumpkin and pecan pies.
I made the following adjustments based on the notes from other reviewers:
1) Replaced anise with teaspoon of nutmeg
2) Used 2 eggs instead of 3
3) Added an additional cup of milk
4) Added an addition 1/2 cup cream
It came out most and bubbling - and not too dense. Yum!
Absolutely delicious! A new family favorite.
Not enough liquid.....Recipe is wrong
