Chocolate Bread Pudding Recipe

Chocolate Bread Pudding Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Bread

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the day-old bread into cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

2. 2

   Make the Chocolate Mixture

   In a saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and dark chocolate. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth.

3. 3

   Combine Ingredients

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Slowly add the warm chocolate mixture to the egg mixture while whisking continuously to temper the eggs. Pour this mixture over the cubed bread and gently stir to combine.

4. 4

   Bake the Pudding

   Pour the bread mixture into a greased baking dish. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

5. 5

   Serve

   Let the pudding cool slightly before serving. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
