How to Make Chocolatey Bread Pudding
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
- In a large saucepan, combine 4 cups cubed stale bread and 2 cups milk.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the milk is absorbed and the bread is softened (about 10-15 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until well combined.
- Whisk in 4 large egg yolks, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and the zest of 1 orange (or lemon).
- In a separate bowl, beat 4 large egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate bread mixture.
- Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Pour the batter into the prepared dish.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the pudding is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool slightly before serving warm with custard or ice cream.
