Pumpkin Bread Pudding

This dish just speaks LOVE.

The flavors of pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, bourbon, and maple syrup come together beautifully and warm the heart.

I made this for my mom, the night she flew in to visit me in NYC.  I hadn’t seen her in 3 months!  I will never forget the two of us, sitting in my cozy New York apartment at 1am, laughing, telling stories, and bonding over my delicious pumpkin bread pudding.
