Pecan Pie Bread Pudding is actually Pecan Pie without the crust. Instead, the filling is poured over delicious bread pudding and baked to perfection!
It’s Pecan Pie infused heaven!! I’ve been on a Pecan Pie theme lately. When I started this, I intended to make a Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding, but after I got everything out I started thinking about trying to make it taste like Pecan Pie instead.
Great decision! It was delish.
Made this tonight for company. Everyone loved it! Recipe requested…said it was the best bread pudding he ever had. And, my husband loves bread pudding…and he loved this. So easy to make and so yummy! Thank you for sharing!

Pecan Pie Bread Pudding
Bread pudding is one of my most favorite desserts to make. It’s a very simple and economical dessert to make. All bread puddings have basically the same format: dried bread and a custard sauce made from milk, eggs, and sugar. To this, you can add any additional ingredients to make the bread pudding your own. For Pecan Pie Bread Pudding, I added

Pecan Pie Bread Pudding is crispy and crunchy on the outside. It’s creamy and smooth on the inside making for one beautiful dessert. The dessert dreams are made of… just me?

Pecan Pie Bread Pudding
- The thing about bread pudding is its a very economical dessert to make.
- It’s a great way to use leftover bread or if you don’t have old bread, purchase it off the sale rack at the grocery store at a reduced price.
- You can make a lot as easy as you can make a little and it’s always a crowd-pleaser.
Combining two classics into one dessert. Gooey pecan pie combined with bread pudding makes this dessert recipe amazing.

Never had bread pudding but this looks amazing. Do you serve it with pancake syrup?
I like it with just vanilla ice cream but some people make a whiskey sauce or caramel sauce for it.
