Double Chocolate Bread Pudding

By Christie

Ingredients

• 2 cups heavy or whipping cream
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup whole milk
• 6 oz. semisweet chocolate chopped
• 2 large eggs beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 6 oz. day-old french bread, cut into 3/4 " cubes (about 4
• cups)
• 1/4 cup semisweet chips

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 300° F. In 2 qt. saucepan, heat cream, sugar, and milk over medium heat until sugar dissolves, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
2. Add chopped chocolate stirring with wire whisk until mixture is smooth and chocolate melts completely. Gradually whisk in eggs and vanilla until well combined.
3. Place bread in shallow 1 1/2 qt or 8x8" glass or ceramic baking dish. Pour chocolate mixture over bread. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top of bread mixture. Bake uncovered, 40-45 minutes or until set. Cool 10 minutes to serve warm, or cover and refrigerate to serve cold later. Serve with whipped cream of you like.
Note: I substitute with milk chocolate because I prefer the taste.
