Ingredients<\/p>\n
- \n
- 2 large whole eggs<\/li>\n
- 3 egg yolks<\/li>\n
- 3\/4 cup sugar<\/li>\n
- 1\/2 cup hot chocolate mix<\/li>\n
- 3 cups half-and-half<\/li>\n
- 1 cup whole milk<\/li>\n
- 2 ounces\u00a0espresso, slightly cooled<\/li>\n
- 1 tablespoon\u00a0vanilla extract<\/li>\n
- 2 tablespoons\u00a0unsalted butter, melted and divided<\/li>\n
- 18 ounces stale\u00a0challah<\/a>\u00a0bread, cut into 1-inch cubes<\/li>\n
- 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, broken into 1\/2-inch pieces<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Modification 1<\/strong>: No hot cocoa mix
\nModification 2:\u00a0<\/strong>No espresso
\nModification 3:<\/strong> No chocolate chunks<\/p>\nSo here you’re asking “Then why are you using the chocolate bread pudding recipe if there’s no bloody chocolate in it?” Because his other recipe is not what I was looking for. Trust me. It works<\/p>\n

Nope!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n That’s a lot of bread pudding. No one else will eat it. Just me. I made a nice bourbon sauce for it as well. I’d post the recipe but I have no idea what I used. Sugar, butter, flour, bourbon, milk all cooked for a bit. It turned out lovely. Really. Just…a lot. I gotta learn how to cook smaller portions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
I’ll admit, I don’t know when I made this. It was on a day when I wasn’t making anything really special for dinner. Maybe it was a roast chicken day. Anyway, I decided to make a bread pudding. Let me state right now that I don’t like the feel of wet bread. Wet bread feels … Continue reading Sunday Sweet<\/span>
