    In a large bowl, whisk milk, eggnog and whipping cream. Add canned pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, eggs, vanilla and raisins. Whisk until completely combined. Place prepared baking dish inside large baking pan. Pour pumpkin mixture over bread cubes and push bread down into wet mixture with a rubber spatula until all liquid saturates bread.
  • 3
    Carefully fill baking pan halfway with water to make a water bath for the bread pudding. Bake 45 minutes.
