Preheat oven 300°.
Arrange bread cubes in a single layer in a shallow baking pan. Bake 10-15 minutes or until dry,
stirring once or twice. Cool.
Increase oven temperature to 350°. Coat a 2-quart shallow baking dish with cooking spray.
Arrange dry bread cubes in prepared dish.
Remove 1 teaspoon zest and squeeze 2 tablespoons juice from orange. In a large bowl combine
orange zest and next five ingredients (milk, pumpkin, eggs, sugar, cinnamon); pour over bread
cubes. Gently press bread down into liquid to moisten. Let stand 15 minutes.
Bake 40-45 minutes or until a knife comes out clean. Cool slightly on a wire rack.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl beat cream cheese and butter with a mixer on medium until
smooth. Gradually beat in powdered sugar and enough of the juice from the orange to reach
drizzling consistency. Drizzle over warm bread pudding.
