Photo: Chocolate Bread Pudding Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 (1-pound) loaf French or Italian bread, cubed
- 3 cups milk
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup coffee flavored liqueur
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons almond extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 6 eggs, lightly beaten
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, grated
- Whipped cream (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Lightly grease a 13 by 9-inch baking dish and place the bread in the dish. In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, cream, and liqueur. Using another bowl, combine the sugar, brown sugar, and cocoa powder and mix well. Add the sugar mixture to the milk mixture and mix well. Add the vanilla and almond extract, and cinnamon to the beaten eggs. Combine the egg mixture to the milk mixture and mix well.
Stir the grated chocolate into the mixture. Pour the mixture over the cubed bread in the pan. Let the mixture stand, stirring occasionally for approximately 20 minutes or until bread absorbs most of the milk mixture. Bake pudding for 1 hour or until set. Check pudding by inserting a knife through the middle and it should come out clean.
Serve the pudding warm, or refrigerate and serve chilled with whipped cream if desired.

I'm afraid I found this recipe far too cloying and sweet. The ingredients fought with one another. There was no subtlety. The almond extract was overpowering and the coffee liquer added only calories. My guests, one of whom is a bread pudding fanatic, picked at their portions and left some behind on their plates. Sadly I used very good chocolate and thought it wasted. I would not bother to make this recipe again.

Over the top delicious..I added orange liquor bc thats what I had..I served it warm with butter peacn ice cream and whipped cream. It was definitely a winner and SO EASY..I did it ahead and just zapped in micro for a few seconds before serving.And I didnt seperate and then add the ingridents..I just didnt see the need. I just added the ingredients in the order listed to one bowl and pour it over the cubbed bread and let soak in for the 20 min suggested.
