How to Make Chocolate Brandy Bread Pudding With Cinnamon Whipped Cream

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Brush an 8x8x2 inch glass baking dish with 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
  3. In a heavy large saucepan, simmer 1 cup of half-and-half and 2 tablespoons of brandy for 3 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and add 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  5. Let stand for 1 minute, then whisk until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
  6. Whisk in 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  7. Let the chocolate mixture cool for about 20 minutes.
  8. Whisk in 4 large eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  9. Gently stir in 4 cups of cubed Hawaiian sweet bread (or other white/sweet bread).
  10. Let the bread pudding mixture stand for 30 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
  11. Spread half of the pudding mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  12. Sprinkle with 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  13. Cover with the remaining pudding mixture.
  14. Bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes, or until the pudding is puffed and firm in the center.
  15. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
  16. **For the Cinnamon Whipped Cream:** Beat 1 cup of heavy cream, 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon in a medium bowl until stiff peaks form.
  17. Spoon the bread pudding into bowls and top generously with the cinnamon whipped cream.
