How to Make Chocolate Bread Pudding Paula Deen

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 13x9 inch baking dish.
  3. Cut stale bread into 1-inch cubes and arrange evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 cups whole milk, 1 cup heavy cream, and 1/4 cup Kahlúa (or other coffee liqueur).
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, and 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder until smooth.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking until well combined.
  7. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon almond extract, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  8. Pour the egg mixture into the milk mixture and whisk gently to combine.
  9. Stir in 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips or grated chocolate.
  10. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread cubes, ensuring all pieces are moistened. Gently press down on the bread to help it absorb the liquid.
  11. Let the bread pudding sit for at least 20 minutes, or up to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the bread to fully absorb the custard.
  12. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean and the pudding is set.
  13. Let the bread pudding cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or chilled!
