Discuss pat's answer to: Chocolate pudding receipe

Oh hi polly, I don't think I ever ate chocolate bread pudding but I googled it for you and there are a lot of recipes online. Here's one I copied from a site that looks like it's all recipes from home cooks so maybe it's a little like what you're looking for?

Ingredients

• 2 ounces semisweet chocolate
• 1/2 cup half-and-half cream
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup 2% milk
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 4 slices day-old bread, crusts removed and cut into cubes (about 3 cups)
• Confectioners' sugar or whipped cream, optional

Directions

• In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate; stir until smooth.
• Stir in cream; set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk the sugar, milk, egg, vanilla and salt. Stir in chocolate mixture. Add bread cubes and toss to coat. Let stand for 15 minutes.
• Spoon into two greased 2-cup souffle dishes. Bake at 350° for 30 to 35 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
• If desired, sprinkle with confectioners' sugar or top with a dollop of whipped cream. Yield: 2 servings.
