How to Make Chocolate Chip Portuguese Sweet Bread Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and butter a 13x9 inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 2 cups whole milk, 1 cup heavy cream, and ¾ cup granulated sugar over medium heat.
  3. Scrape the seeds from 1 vanilla bean into the milk mixture. Add the vanilla bean pod to the saucepan.
  4. Heat the milk mixture until it just begins to steam, do not boil. Remove from heat.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs and 2 large egg yolks.
  6. Gradually whisk 2 cups of the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture to temper the eggs, preventing them from scrambling.
  7. Pour the tempered egg mixture into the saucepan with the remaining hot milk mixture.
  8. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps and the vanilla bean pod.
  9. Cut 1 pound Portuguese sweet bread into 1-inch cubes. Arrange the bread cubes in the prepared baking dish.
  10. Sprinkle ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the bread cubes.
  11. Slowly pour the custard over the bread, ensuring all the bread is thoroughly saturated. Let it sit for 15 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
  12. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown and the pudding set.
  13. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
