  • Prep Time 15 minutes
  • Total Time 50 minutes
  • Yield Serves 6

Ingredients

    • 1 tablespoon butter, plus more for baking dish
    • 8 slices (8 ounces) cinnamon-raisin bread
    • 2 cups milk
    • 3 ounces semisweet chocolate
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter an 11-by-7-inch (or 9-inch square) baking dish; set aside. Toast bread (in the oven or toaster) until lightly crisped.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine milk, chocolate, and butter; place over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until chocolate has melted, about 5 minutes.
  3. Tear bread into large pieces (about 4 or 5 per slice); scatter evenly in prepared baking dish. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla. Whisk in warm milk mixture until combined. Pour over bread.
  4. Bake until pudding has puffed and is firm, about 25 minutes. Cool at least 10 minutes, and dust with confectioners' sugar just before serving.

Cook's Note

Using a cinnamon-raisin bread adds even more flavor to this chocolatey pudding.
