Chocolate Bread Pudding image

This was my first time making a bread pudding and it only seemed right that I start with a chocolate one. LOL --- It is rich with Chocolately love to your every bite. My family really enjoyed it. This recipe comes from "Southern Living Ultimate Christmas Cookbook 2010" from Macy's Dept. Store.

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb challah bread, torn into bite-size pieces (you can use french bread for a substitute)
3 Tbsp butter, softened and divided
4 c half and half
1 pkg (12 ounce) semisweet chocolate morsels, divided (i used ghirardelli)
1/2 c unsweetened cocoa
1 1/2 c sugar
1/2 tsp salt
5 large eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 c bourbon, half and half, or brewed coffee (i used brewed coffee)
1 c coarsely chopped pecans

Steps:

  • 1. Place bread on 2 baking sheets, and bake at 325 degrees for 12 minutes. Transfer bread to a large bowl, and set aside. Butter a 13" x 9" baking dish with 1 Tbsp butter. This is the Challah bread that I used.
  • 2. Bring half and half and remaining 2 Tbsp butter to a simmer in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Remove from heat, add 1 cup chocolate morsels, stirring until melted. Whish in cocoa and next 4 ingredients.
  • 3. Pour over bread, tossing to coat; transfer to baking dish. Cover and chill 8 hours or overnight.
  • 4. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate morsel and pecans. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 1 hours or until set. Let stand 10 minutes.
  • 5. (I then transfered by spoonful into my ramekin dishes.)
  • 6. You can also bake bread pudding in 8 (8-ounce) ramekins or 12 (6-ounce) ramekins or custard cups. Prepare as directed above, and after chilling 8 hours, spoon pudding evenly into ramekins. Sprinkle with morsels and pecans. Bake, uncoverd, at 350 for 35 minutes (for 6 ounce) to 40 minutes (for 8 ounce).
