Description
This decadent Salted Chocolate Bread Pudding combines challah bread, rich chocolate custard, & sea salt for a dessert fit for chocolate lovers!
Ingredients
- 1 lb challah bread loaf
- 8 tbsp butter
- 14 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 cups evaporated milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp gound cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tsp finishing sea salt
Instructions
- Cut the challah bread into cubes then set to the side.
- Add butter and 12 oz. chocolate chips to a warm pot on low heat and stir until melted. Remove from heat.
- In a large bowl, combine evaporated milk, sugar, brown sugar, honey, vanilla extract, nutmeg, cinnamon, turmeric, and eggs. Mix together until smooth. Combine this mixture with the melted chocolate until blended.
- Add bread cubes into a casserole dish (paid link). Add 1 oz. of chocolate chips in between the bread cubes. Cover evenly with the chocolate custard. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Before baking, add the remaining 1 oz. of chocolate chips over the top of the dish. Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees.
- Sprinkle sea salt evenly over the top of the dish and allow it to cool for 10 minutes.
- Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Notes
This salt is really just a finisher and is used to brighten the chocolate a bit. One 1 tsp. sprinkled over the entire casserole should be plenty.
I used a 9×13 baking dish in this recipe, but a 9×12 baking dish will work just fine.
