Ingredients 

  • 1 stick unsalted butter, plus 1 Tablespoon
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
  • Begin by buttering a 9” springform pan with 1 Tablespoon of butter.
  • Cut the staled Texas toast into 1” cubes (1 slice makes 9 cubes). Place the cubed bread in a large bowl and set aside.

  • Pour the cocoa-cream mixture over the cubed bread, tossing with your hands until all of the bread is moistened and begins to lose shape.
  • Then carefully fold the chocolate sauce into the bread mixture.
  • Pour the mixture into the springform pan.

  • Allow the bread pudding to cool for 10 minutes before removing the exterior rim of the springform pan.

  1. Hey Kelly Ann! My name is Bubba and I’m from San Diego, CA. I love your website and want to grow up to be a chef just like you! Ha, but seriously I just checked out the website and I’m really impressed. The cooking demo for this dish (which, following B.C., I now have a strange attachment to) was right up there with Mario Batali…though Mario does happen to have a much better on-camera glow. Nice work!
