Bread pudding is one of my very favorite desserts, but I had never had a chocolate version until I made this one! It’s got all the intensity of fudgy brownies, but with all of the textural differences and richness of bread pudding. A perfect bread pudding has a nice crisp, craggy top and a soft, creamy center. No soggy bread here!
A nice challah or brioche loaf is perfect here because these enriched breads are already eggy and decadent from the high quantity of butter and eggs in the bread dough. They are truly the gold standard for bread puddings and worth seeking out-or making at home! Just make sure the bread is a day or two old, so it stales and better absorbs the custard.
The custard has chocolate melted in, and the bread cubes are tossed with more chocolate chunks, so you truly get chocolate in every single bite. If your chocolate bread pudding isn’t doing this for you, it’s time to ditch that recipe and try this one.
Drizzle with tons of salted caramel sauce, fresh raspberries for a sweet-tart flavor to offset ALL THIS RICHNESS, and lightly sweetened whipped cream because every dessert is made better with a dollop of whipped cream. Just you try to find one that it doesn’t work with!
