Double Chocolate Cinnamon Bread Pudding Recipes

EASY CHOCOLATE CINNAMON BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
• Whisk eggs and sugar in a large bowl. Stir in milk; whisk until well combined. Add bread cubes; stir to moisten. Mix in chocolate-covered raisins. Spoon mixture in the prepared baking pan; let it sit for 10 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
• Bake in the preheated oven until set, 55 to 60 minutes.

CHOCOLATE AND CINNAMON BREAD ON BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• For the bread pudding: Using a serrated knife, hollow out the boule. Cube the hollowed-out bread into 2-inch pieces and put in a large bowl. Using your fingers or a spoon, scrape any remaining bread from inside the boule to create a crusty bowl. Add any scraped bread to the bowl along with the bread cubes.
• In a medium pot, gently heat the milk, cream, butter, granulated sugar and vanilla paste until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved. Let cool completely.
• Add the eggs to the milk mixture and whisk until combined. Pour the custard over the cubed bread, stir in the chocolate chunks and let sit for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment and spray with nonstick spray. Place the boule on the baking sheet. Pack the custard/bread mixture into the bread bowl. It will protrude a bit--that's a good thing! Mix together the demerara sugar, cinnamon and salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture on the top of the bread pudding. Bake until golden and crusty, 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• For the whipped cream: In a cold bowl, mix together the cream, granulated sugar, cinnamon, vanilla paste and salt. Beat to medium peaks.
• Cut the bread pudding into "slices" and top with the whipped cream.

• Prepare the bottom and sides of the baking dish with the butter. In a large bowl, add the bread and croissant chunks along with the chocolate chips sprinkled over the top. Toss gently and pour into the prepared dish making sure all the chocolate chips don't settle on the bottom.
• In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, milk, chocolate syrup, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
• Pour the chocolate custard over the bread and chocolate in the dish and press the bread down into the custard to soak it up. Allow to rest for 10 minutes. Then press down a bit again.
• Bake uncovered until the edges are golden brown and the center springs back a bit when touched, 45 to 50 minutes. Allow it to cool and settle for about 30 minutes and then make pretty squares, or just dig in right away. Serve with a dollop of Bourbon Whipped Cream, recipe follows. Can also be served cold.
• In a large bowl whisk the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the sugar and bourbon and continue to whisk until stiff peaks form when the whisk is removed from the bowl. Refrigerate and serve cold.
