Description

Warm chocolate gooiness erupts from this chocolate bread pudding. One spoonful and your taste buds will be swimming in love. A very decadent dessert for you and your loved ones to enjoy.

Ingredients

1 loaf egg bread (challuh), cut into 1/2" cubes
5 cups heavy cream, separated
2 cups milk
1/2 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
2 tablespoons instant coffee powder
1 cup sugar
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
4 ounces milk chocolate, chopped
10 large egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup powdered sugar

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Toast bread on rimmed baking sheet, stirring occasionally, until golden and crisp, about 40 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.

  • Adjust oven temperature to 325 degrees. Grease a Bundt pan and set aside. Heat 1 1/2 cups cream, milk, cocoa, coffee granules, and 1/2 cup sugar in a saucepan, stirring occasionally, until steaming and sugar is dissolved. Immediately pour over bread cubes and let stand, stirring occasionally, until absorbed.

  • While bread is soaking, bring 1 cup cream to a simmer in a small saucepan. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate until smooth. Transfer 1 cup of chocolate mixture to small bowl and reserve for serving. To the remaining chocolate mixture, add egg yolks, 1 1/2 cups cream, and 1/2 cup sugar, whisk to combine. This becomes the chocolate custard for the next step.

  • Spoon soaked bread into prepared Bundt pan and pour chocolate custard mixture evenly over bread. Bake until pudding is set and surface is slightly crisp, about 40-50 minutes. Let cool 25 minutes

  • Before serving, warm the reserved chocolate mixture over low heat. In a mixing bowl, add remaining 1 cup cream (cold), vanilla and powdered sugar. Beat on high until whipped. Dollop over individual servings and drizzle the warm bread pudding with reserved chocolate mixture. (Refrigerate any leftover servings-there won't be any...trust me)
