Chocolate Bread Pudding

Chocolate Bread Pudding

"When my daughter married a chocolate lover, she began making this dessert for him. It has been a great success with all and has graced many a holiday table."

Recipe

• 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup Kahlua or brandy
• 2 cups milk
• 4 cups cubed stale bread

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch (6-cup) loaf pan. Melt 1 cup of chocolate chips and set aside to cool slightly. Whisk eggs, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, melted chocolate and Kahlua in a large bowl. Stir in milk. Add bread cubes and let mixture rest for 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to make sure the bread is evenly soaked. Ladle half of mixture into loaf pan. Spread remaining 2 cups of chocolate chips on top. Add remaining mixture. Bake for about 55 minutes or until the center is set. Cool. Serves 6 to 8.
