This chocolate bread pudding ranks at the top of my list of ultimate desserts. I guarantee all dessert lovers will enjoy this recipe (even if you aren’t a chocolate lover). The moist texture of the chocolate-soaked bread combined with the crunchy bits that form on top of the pudding make for a great ending to any meal.

Ingredients  

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

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.

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the non-fat milk, heavy cream, eggs, salt, cocoa powder and vanilla extract.
  • 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.
  • Bake for one hour, or until the center of the pudding spring back when gently touched.
  • Allow the bread pudding to cool for 10 minutes before removing the exterior rim of the springform pan.
  • Serve a slice of the bread pudding with caramel sauce or vanilla ice cream.
