Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups (cubed) day-old bread (such as brioche or challah)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter.
Spread the cubed bread evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips over the bread, ensuring even distribution.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until fully combined and smooth.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread and chocolate chips, pressing down gently to ensure all the bread is soaked in the liquid.
Let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce if desired.
