Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups French bread (day-old or slightly stale)
- 1.5 cups White chocolate chips
- 3 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 4 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup White chocolate chips (for drizzle)
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream (for drizzle)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter and set aside.
Cut the French bread into 1-inch cubes and place them in the greased baking dish in an even layer.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, and 1.5 cups of white chocolate chips. Stir continuously until the white chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Slowly whisk the slightly cooled white chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Be sure to add it gradually to prevent the eggs from cooking.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread cubes in the baking dish, gently pressing down the bread to ensure it soaks up the custard.
Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes to allow the bread to fully absorb the custard.
Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set (a knife inserted into the center should come out clean).
While the bread pudding is baking, make the white chocolate drizzle. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat 0.5 cups of white chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of heavy cream in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and melted.
Once the bread pudding is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the top.
Serve warm and enjoy!
