Chocolate Bread Pudding

SERVES: 8

COOK TIME: 40 Min

Never heard of Chocolate Bread Pudding? It's an eyebrow-raising twist on the classic bread pudding recipe. What a great make-ahead dessert!

What You'll Need

1 cup sugar
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
2 cups whole milk
4 egg yolks
1/3 cup butter, melted
4 tablespoons chocolate-flavored syrup
1/3 cup raisins
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
9 slices white bread, cubed
1 tablespoon semisweet chocolate chips

What to Do

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a large bowl, mix together sugar, evaporated milk, whole milk, and egg yolks. Add melted butter, chocolate syrup, raisins, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg; mix. Add bread cubes to mixture and toss to saturate bread. Pour mixture into a greased 8-inch square baking pan. Sprinkle chips on top.
Bake 35 to 40 minutes, or until golden and set. Allow to cool then cut into squares.

Notes

This gets firmer and is easier to cut when cool. If you'd like to reheat it slightly before serving, just pop it in the microwave. And if you'd like, serve it the old-fashioned way: topped with cream or milk.

It's in the oven now! Had to use 1% milk and 2 5-oz cans evaporated milk since it's what I had on hand. Also added 2 TBSP cocoa powder along with the chocolate syrup. Never made bread pudding before. We'll know in 20 minutes if this amended recipe is a "yes"! )
