Decadent chocolate bread pudding made with three layers of chocolate. Chocolate bread, chocolate custard, and chocolate chunks! Served warm with fresh whipped cream or the next day cold, it’s indulgent and delicious.
One loaf Chocolate Bread, cubed and dried out
5 Eggs
2 Cups Heavy Cream
1 TBSP Vanilla
1/3 C Dutch Processed Cocoa
2/3 C Light Brown Sugar
1 Cup Chocolate Chunks
1 TBSP Butter (softened) to coat Casserole Dish
2 TBSP Cinnamon and Cocoa to dust casserole dish after buttering
Cut up bread into cubes and set out to dry.
Combine eggs, cream, vanilla, cocoa, and light brown sugar together until combined.
Toss bread into the mixture and coat. Let sit together for a minimum of thirty minutes so the bread gets saturated. Add the chocolate chunks (of your choice) to the mix and get ready to bake this chocolate goodness.
Use 1 TBSP butter (softened) to coat the inside of your casserole dish. I use a French White medium round dish for this recipe. Then dust the buttered dish with cinnamon and cocoa. Tap out remainder of powder and set aside.
When the bread and egg mixture are thoroughly combined, put into prepared casserole dish.

I baked this dessert for a base time of 45 minutes. However, when I checked on it, I decided to let it go another 10 minutes. Checked on it again and went another 10 minutes for 65 minutes total baking time. The thing about bread pudding is you want it cooked thoroughly. So take the time to test the center and make sure it is done. You don’t want it over cooked- so you need to find the sweet spot with this, pun intended.
