I am a lover of bread pudding. Partly, because my grandma used to make it all of the time and it reminds me of her. There are all different variations of bread pudding and ways that you can make it. I think I’ve found my new favorite in this double chocolate recipe. If you are a chocolate lover then you will be in love with this very easy-to-make chocolaty recipe. Even my husband agreed that it was better than the others I’ve made in the past.
Check out what my pals over at Oh Taste And See had to say about this recipe:
Super duper chocolatey. My son loved it. He hates french toast, but loved this. And, if you think about it, this is just dressed up chocolate french toast, that is baked in an oven. And good news, what could be breakfast for kids, would be dessert for adults. Double duty recipe.
We had it as dessert with some whipped cream. It became my brothers favorite.
My kids loved this chocolate bread pudding, too. It was definitely a hit at our house.
Ingredients
3-4 cups small cubed brioche bread
1 cup 1% milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 eggs
2 tbsp Domino white granulated sugar
3 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp Toll House cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp McCormick cinnamon
1/4 cup Toll House semi-sweet chocolate chips(optional)
Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving
Pam Nonstick spray for the pan
Instructions
In a bowl, whisk the eggs until homogenous and fluffy. Add in brown and white sugars, whisk to combine. Add the vanilla extract, milk and cream and incorporate. Mix in the cocoa powder and the cinnamon. It doesn’t exactly dissolve, so don’t worry. Pour in this custard mixture over the bread pieces or vice versa – add the cubed bread into this liquid. Stir to combine. Cover and set aside for 20-30 minutes, or until the bread soaks up all of the liquid.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray a square baking dish and place the soaked up mixture in the pan. Press to compact the bread pieces. Sprinkle with the chocolate chips. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 35 – 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for about 10 minutes. Cut into slices. This made 6 servings. Serve topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
