Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups day-old bread (e.g., challah or brioche), cubed
- 1.5 cups fresh raspberries
- 3 quarters semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing crock pot)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Grease the inside of the crock pot with butter to prevent sticking.
Spread half of the bread cubes evenly in the bottom of the crock pot.
Sprinkle half of the raspberries and half of the chocolate chips over the bread layer.
Add the remaining bread cubes, followed by the rest of the raspberries and chocolate chips, layering evenly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Pour the egg and milk mixture evenly over the bread layers in the crock pot, ensuring all bread pieces are saturated.
Gently press down on the bread mixture with a spatula to help everything soak up the liquid.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 3 hours, or until the strata is set and no longer runny in the center.
Turn off the crock pot and let it cool slightly for 10-15 minutes before serving.
To serve, scoop the strata into bowls and optionally dust with powdered sugar for garnish.
