Ingredients

  • 1-pound loaf French or Italian bread, cut into cubes (about 15 cups)
  • 3 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup coffee-flavored liqueur
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons pure almond extract
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 6 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Lightly grease a 13 by 9-inch baking dish. Place the bread in the baking dish.

In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, cream, and liqueur.

In another bowl, combine the granulated and brown sugars with the cocoa powder and mix well. Add this to the milk mixture and whisk to combine.

Add the vanilla and almond extracts and the cinnamon to the beaten eggs. Combine the egg mixture with the milk mixture and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour the mixture evenly over the bread cubes; let stand, stirring occasionally, for at least 20 minutes, or until the bread has absorbed most of the milk mixture. Bake the pudding for 1 hour, or until set; a knife inserted into the center of the pudding should come out clean. Serving the pudding warm, or refrigerate it and serve chilled.

Serve it warm or cold, with whipped cream or a dessert sauce.

    I made this last night and it was ridiculously delicious!! The only changes I made were I used all Ghirardelli chocolates (cocoa & chips. I also used milk chocolate rather than semi-sweet. I switched out coffee liqueur for Navan Madagascar Vanilla liqueur. I had to bake an extra 20 minutes as well. I can't imagine anyone calling this recipe bland, it was the complete opposite for me. I think it's all about the quality of ingredients! It was rich and creamy and the vanilla liqueur gave it a great kick of flavor! I will be making this again and again!! Thanks Paula ...LOVE IT!
