This chocolate bread pudding recipe is a rich and decadent dessert. It’s a simple, comforting dish perfect for a sweet treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 loaf (1 pound) challah or brioche bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (alcohol-free)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Spread the bread cubes evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
  4. Stir in the chopped chocolate.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread cubes, making sure all the bread is soaked. Gently press down on the bread to submerge it in the liquid. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
  6. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the pudding is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the pudding cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the custard.
  • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
