Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups Stout beer
1/2 cup 35 percent cream
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/4 cups semisweet chocolate chips
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
4 cups French bread with crust, cut into 1-inch cubes
Whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Bring the Stout, cream, and 1/2 cup sugar, to a simmer in a medium saucepan, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat. Add 1 cup chocolate chips and whisk until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool.
  • Whisk the eggs and vanilla in large bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in the cooled chocolate mixture.
  • Add the bread cubes and the remaining chocolate chips to the custard, and toss to coat. Transfer to 1 1/2-quart-capacity shallow round, square or oval baking dish that you have greased with butter or oil. The batter will come close to the top of the pan. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons sugar over top.
  • Bake until the custard thickens and the center is just set, about 50 to 60 minutes.
  • Serve warm, cut a circle using a round biscuit cutter. Garnish with partially whipped whipping cream, lightly sweetened with sugar.
