Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups (cubed) Day-old brioche or challah bread
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Heavy cream (for whipped cream)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for whipped cream)
- 0.125 teaspoons Ground nutmeg (for whipped cream)
- 0.5 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract (for whipped cream)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Spread the cubed bread evenly into the prepared baking dish.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the heavy cream, milk, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and heated through, but do not let it boil.
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the chocolate chips. Continue stirring until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and vanilla extract together. Gradually add the cooled chocolate mixture to the eggs, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the eggs.
Pour the chocolate custard evenly over the bread cubes in the baking dish. Press the bread down gently with a spatula to ensure it soaks up the custard.
Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes, then bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top is set and slightly crispy.
While the bread pudding is baking, make the spiced whipped cream. In a large bowl, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract.
Using a hand mixer or a whisk, beat the cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat.
Once the bread pudding has finished baking, allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Serve the warm chocolate bread pudding with a dollop of spiced whipped cream on top.
