Double Fudge Bread Pudding Recipes

Steps:

• Beat the egg yolks and sugar until light yellow and thick in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, on medium-high speed. On low speed, add the cornstarch, cocoa powder, and salt. Bring the milk to a boil in a medium saucepan and, with the mixer on low, slowly pour the hot milk into the chocolate mixture. Combine well, then pour the mixture back into the pan.
• Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon, until thickened. If the mixture begins to curdle, remove it from the heat and beat it vigorously with a wire whisk. Remove the pan from the heat, add the chocolate, butter, vanilla, and heavy cream, and mix until the chocolate and butter are melted.
• Pour into serving bowls. Place plastic wrap directly on the top of the pudding, and chill thoroughly.

Steps:

• Butter a 13x9-inch baking dish; spread out bread in dish.
• In large bowl, whisk together sugars, cocoa powder, cinnamon and salt.
• Whisk in eggs, one at a time, until combined well.
• Whisk in extract.
• Place chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl.
• In a medium saucepan, bring milk and heavy cream just to a boil.
• Pour over chocolate and stir until completely melted.
• Whisking constantly, slowly pour chocolate mixture into egg mixture; whisk in bourbon.
• Evenly pour over bread.
• Refrigerate, stirring occasionally, at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Heat oven to 325 degrees.
• Bake pudding until just set and a knife inserted in center comes out clean, about 1 hour.
• Serve warm or chilled with whipped cream, if using.

Steps:

• For the bread pudding: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare the bottom and sides of the baking dish with the butter.
• In a large bowl, add the croissant and bread chunks along with the chocolate chips sprinkled over the top. Toss gently and pour into the prepared dish making sure all the chocolate chips don't settle on the bottom.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, chocolate syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg and eggs. Pour the chocolate custard over the bread in the baking dish and press the bread down into the custard to soak it up. Allow to rest for 10 minutes. Then press down a bit again.
• For the topping: In a medium bowl, toss the butter with the flour to coat all sides of the butter. Then add the pecans, brown sugar, salt and cinnamon. Mix together with your hands to get the butter to blend into all the ingredients. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the baking dish.
• Bake uncovered until the edges are golden brown and the center springs back a bit when touched, 45 to 50 minutes. Allow it to cool and settle for about 30 minutes and then make pretty squares, or just dig in right away. Serve with a dollop of Bourbon Whipped Cream. Can also be served cold.
• In a large bowl, whisk heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the bourbon and sugar and continue to whisk until stiff peaks form when the whisk is removed from the bowl. Refrigerate and serve cold.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Break bread into small pieces into an 8 inch square baking pan. Drizzle melted butter or margarine over bread. If desired, sprinkle with raisins.
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. Beat until well mixed. Pour over bread, and lightly push down with a fork until bread is covered and soaking up the egg mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top springs back when lightly tapped.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a loaf pan.
