Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups (cubed, about half a loaf) French bread
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 large Eggs
- 2.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon (for greasing) Unsalted butter
Instructions
Cube the French bread into 1-inch pieces and set aside in a large mixing bowl.
Grease the inside of the crock pot with the unsalted butter to prevent sticking.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Pour the egg and milk mixture over the cubed bread, ensuring all of the bread pieces are soaked. Gently mix until evenly coated.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips to distribute them throughout the mixture.
Transfer the bread mixture into the prepared crock pot, spreading it out evenly.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the pudding is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Once done, turn off the crock pot and let the bread pudding cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as is, or top with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
