How to Make Diet Friendly Mocha Bread Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Coat an 8-inch square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup granulated Splenda, 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules.
  4. Place 4 cups of cubed stale bread (challah or brioche recommended) in the prepared baking dish.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups evaporated skim milk, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  6. Stir in the Splenda mixture until evenly distributed.
  7. Pour the milk mixture over the bread cubes, gently pressing down to ensure the bread is mostly submerged.
  8. Place the 8-inch baking dish into a larger 13x9-inch baking dish.
  9. Pour enough warm water into the larger dish to reach a depth of 1 inch around the smaller dish (this creates a water bath for even baking).
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pudding is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let cool slightly before sprinkling lightly with powdered sugar (optional).
  12. Garnish each serving with a dollop of sugar-free whipped topping, fresh berries, and/or a sprig of mint.
