Indulge in the ultimate comfort dessert with these Chocolate Banana Bread Puddings—a heavenly fusion of rich chocolate, ripe bananas, and soft, custard-soaked bread. Perfect for transforming day-old bread into a decadent treat, this recipe combines creamy milk and heavy cream with a hint of vanilla and cinnamon for an irresistibly fragrant custard. Semi-sweet chocolate chips dissolve into pockets of gooey sweetness, while the mashed bananas infuse every bite with natural flavor. Baked to golden perfection in individual ramekins or a cozy baking dish, these puddings are ideal for dinner parties or weeknight indulgence. Serve warm with a dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant finish!
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease six 8-ounce ramekins or a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter.
Cut the day-old bread into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a medium bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Set aside.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.
Stir the mashed bananas into the milk mixture and mix until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring all pieces are soaked. Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
Divide the bread mixture evenly among the greased ramekins or pour it into the prepared baking dish. Gently press the bread down with the back of a spoon to ensure it is packed snugly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the puddings are set and golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy your decadent Chocolate Banana Bread Puddings!
