Mexican Pumpkin Bread Pudding Graves With Baked Churro Mummies Recipes

Steps:

• Bring water, piloncillo, cinnamon and cloves to boil in medium saucepan; simmer on medium heat 20 min. or until syrup-like consistency, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; keep warm.
• Heat oven to 350ºF. Toss bread cubes with butter; spread onto baking sheet. Bake 10 min. Transfer to large bowl. Add raisins and nuts; mix lightly. Strain syrup; discard cinnamon stick and cloves. Add syrup to bread mixture; mix well. Let stand 10 min., stirring frequently. Meanwhile, combine cheeses.
• Spoon half the bread mixture into 2-qt. casserole; sprinkle with half the cheese mixture. Repeat layers; cover.
• Bake 25 min. or until cheese is melted and golden brown, uncovering the last 5 min.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Combine bread cubes, dates and 1/3 cup pecans; place in a greased 2-qt. shallow baking dish. , In a bowl, combine the milk, pumpkin, egg yolks, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and cloves. In a small bowl, beat egg whites until stiff; fold into pumpkin mixture. Pour over bread cubes and toss gently. Sprinkle with remaining nuts. , Bake, uncovered, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 1 hour. Serve warm or chilled with cream if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
• Open the crescent dough tube and unroll the dough onto a work surface. Pinch together the seams to create a rectangle. Cut the dough lengthwise into 8 long strips.
• Take 1 hot dog and 1 strip of the dough and wind the dough around the hot dog while pulling gently to stretch the dough. Crisscross the dough every so often so it looks like mummy wrappings. Near the end of the hot dog, leave a narrow strip of hot dog exposed so you can add eyes after baking. Place the wrapped dog on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining dough and hot dogs. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
• While hot dogs bake, use the narrow end of a wide piping tip to punch out 16 small rounds of cheese for the mummies' eyes.
• Remove the hot dogs from oven. Using a toothpick, smear some ketchup on one side of each cheese round and "glue" it to the open area of the hot dog to create 2 eyes. Using the same toothpick, put a dab of ketchup or mustard in the center of each eye to create a pupil.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
• Combine pumpkin, milk, maple syrup, coconut sugar, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; whip until well blended.
• Layer bread pieces on the bottom of the prepared pan. Pour pumpkin mixture over the bread. Use a fork to poke down and bread that pops up and make sure all bread is soaked in the mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until pudding is spongy but set, about 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
• Whisk together cream, pumpkin, milk, sugar, eggs, yolk, salt, and spices in a bowl.
