Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 45 minutes
Serves: 6 servings
| Ingredients: |
| 6 Leftover Bread slices (white or brown) or Fruit Bread slices |
| 100 gms Dark Chocolate (60 percent cocoa solids) |
| 4 tablespoons Butter, melted at room temperature |
| 1½ cups Whipping Cream |
| 1/4 cup Caster Sugar |
| 2 tablespoons Cocoa Powder |
| 2 medium Eggs, lightly beaten |
| 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract |
| 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon |
Directions:
- Remove crusts from bread slices and cut each slice into 4 triangles or rectangles.
- Grease 1.5 liter ovenproof baking dish with butter. Melt and mix chocolate, whipping cream, butter and caster sugar together in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Take away bowl from the simmering water and stir to mix all ingredients. (You can also melt chocolate, cream and butter in microwave)
- Take another bowl and whisk together cocoa powder, lightly beaten eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon and melted choco-cream paste.
- Pour 1/3 of egg-chocolate mix in a baking dish. Arrange half of bread triangles in slightly overlapping layer over mixture. Pour again 1/3 of mix evenly over it and make a second layer of bread using remaining bread triangles. Finish with an even layer of remaining 1/3 of egg-chocolate mixture.
- Use spoon to press down breads so they are covered with the liquid. Keep it aside for an hour to let bread absorb the chocolate mixture and become moist.
- Preheat oven at 350°F (180°C) and bake it for 30-35 minutes until top is crunchy but inside is still soft. Let it stand for 10 minutes.
- Chocolate bread and butter pudding is ready for serving. Serve it warm.
