How to Make Chocolate Rum Bread Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs and 2 cups heavy cream until light and frothy.
  3. Add ¾ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, ½ cup dark rum, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1 cup chopped bittersweet chocolate. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
  4. Butter a 2-quart baking dish. Arrange 6 cups cubed stale bread evenly in the bottom of the prepared dish.
  5. Pour the egg-cream mixture evenly over the bread, ensuring all pieces are moistened. Let sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
  6. Place the baking dish in a larger roasting pan. Carefully pour enough boiling water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the baking dish (this creates a water bath for even cooking).
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, loosely tent with foil.
  8. Let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
