Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups day-old bread (such as brioche or challah)
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing the dish)
- 1 as desired whipped cream or ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.
Cut the day-old bread into 1-inch cubes and spread them evenly in the prepared baking dish.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and cocoa powder. Whisk constantly until the mixture is warm and the sugar and cocoa powder have dissolved completely.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chocolate chips. Continue stirring until the chocolate chips have melted into the mixture.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and salt.
Slowly pour the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to avoid scrambling the eggs. The mixture should be smooth and well combined.
Pour the chocolate custard evenly over the bread cubes, pressing down gently with a spatula to ensure the bread absorbs the custard.
Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the custard.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is set and slightly crisp but the inside remains moist.
Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Optional: Serve warm with whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for extra indulgence.
