directions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Lightly grease a 13 by 9-inch baking dish fill with bread cubes.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, cream, and liqueur. In another bowl, combine the granulated and brown sugars with the cocoa powder and mix well. Add the cocoa mixture to the milk mixture and whisk to combine.
  • In a medium bowl, add the vanilla extract, almond extract, and the cinnamon to the beaten eggs. Combine the egg mixture with the milk mixture and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour the mixture evenly over the bread cubes; let stand, stirring occasionally, for at least 20 minutes, or until the bread has absorbed most of the milk mixture. Bake the pudding for 1 hour, or until set; a cake tester inserted into the center of the pudding should come out clean.
  • Serve the pudding warm or cold, with Pecan Rum Flambe, dessert sauce.
  • Rum Sauce.
  • In a large skillet, melt the stick butter and add brown sugar, stir together. Add the pecans and cook until sugar has caramelized over medium-high heat. Turn off the stove and pour in the rum. Stand back and carefully light with a long lighter. Be careful; a flame will shoot up above the pan. As the alcohol cooks out, the flame will die down. Serve over chocolate bread pudding.

  1. I love this recipe! After I saw this episode I had to make it. I substituted the bread for challah bread and it gave it an added touch. The first time I made it with challah i just got it from Whole Foods and the 2nd time around I got it from a jewish bakery which was ever better. This has now become a staple at Christmas

<p>I love to cook!!! I am always looking for new recipes to try for my three young boys and for my husband(DH). It is challenging at times to find something that everyone likes. I am always trying out new recipes and making things that are simple, tasty, and satisfying to everyone. I have been baking since I was about 9 years old and to this day it is my passion. I love to see a smile on someon's face when they bite into something so tasty. It gives me to best feeling.</p>
