Celestial Chocolate Chunk invokes the essence of childhood. The flavor profile encourages you to dwell in a chocolaty childhood memory. Don't hesitate to inject some youthful innocence and delight in to your cooking. Think of who you are now and how can you bring back that childlike excitement into your present place.
Ingredients
- One 16-ounce loaf fresh-baked bread
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 5 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 5 cups whole organic milk
- 2 cups the biggest and finest chocolate chunks
- 1 childhood memory
- A Load of Love (enough to change the world)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 325 degree F.
In a big bowl, tear apart the bread (as you do this, think happy childhood memory thoughts and good intentions).
In a bowl, mix the sugar and eggs until fully incorporated. Mix in the vanilla and salt with a load of love. Blend well. Slowly add the milk and mix until fully incorporated.
Place the torn bread in a baking pan. Pour the egg/milk mixture over the bread to evenly coat each piece of bread. Wash your hands well. Add the chocolate chunks and gently fold the milk mixture into the bread with your hands. Send the bread your favorite childhood memory and think of how you are going to have that excitement today. Cover with foil, place in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour 30 minutes. Check the consistency, it should be slightly mushy and semi-solid.Continue to bake if needed. Refrigerate overnight. (It's okay to enjoy warm, no judgment over here.) Eat with good health.

When I saw this episode, I just started to drool! I like that this recipe doesn't have any butter (probably due to the fresh milk. I've made this several times, and I would just warn people to not over mix with the chocolate chunks. They tend to sink to the bottom and make it difficult to scoop out when cold. Delicious!.

This recipe is awesome! It tastes Exactly like the one at her Venice shop. I did however make a slight adjustment. I had to use only 4 cups of milk(5 seemed too much for the amount of bread and therefore I reduced the eggs to 4. *One other note* Recipe does not indicate as it was on the t.v. show- After removing bread pudding from oven let it cool. Then break it up with your hands or fork as she did on t.v. (she called it aerating Then refrigerate overnight. Scoop to serve. This is a wonderful dessert. Try it you won't be sorry.
