BLACK FOREST BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 175 C. Grease a 5" round baking dish that's at least 2" high. Alternatively, use a square or rectangular dish, that will fit the bread and custard easily. The mixture will not exactly overflow while baking, but it will puff up a bit so keep that in mind.
• In a bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk, cream and sugar. Whisk well to combine.
• Add the melted chocolate and whisk again till the chocolate has fully incorporated. Now take out 1/4 cup (60 ml) of this custard mixture and set it aside.
• Break the bread up into bite-sized pieces (or chop it) and add it to the bowl. Stir to coat very well with the custard and let it soak for 20 minutes.
• Now tip the soaked bread into your prepared dish, and stir in the cherries, saving a spoonful to scatter on top.
• Pour the reserved 1/4 cup custard all over the top of it, pressing the bread down as needed to make sure it's fully soaked. Top with the reserved spoonful of cherries.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes (if you use a shallow dish, the pudding may get done quicker), until the top looks set and a toothpick poked in the center comes out moist crumbs but no wet mixture.
• Sprinkle chocolate chips over the hot pudding, and serve warm with whipped cream! Store in the fridge for 3 to 4 days, and reheat before eating. It tastes as good as it does on day one, with a more intense Black Forest-y flavour :) Happy baking!
