Decadent Delight! Chocolate Bread Pudding with BAKERS Whipping Cream

Looking for the ultimate comfort dessert? This Chocolate Bread Pudding is the answer. It’s a rich, gooey, and unbelievably satisfying treat that's perfect for a cozy night in or for impressing guests. The secret to its silky smooth texture and decadent flavor? BAKERS Whipping Cream.

Using high-quality whipping cream elevates this classic dessert from simple to sublime. It creates a custard base that is both light and rich, perfectly balancing the deep flavor of the chocolate. This recipe is also a fantastic way to use up day-old bread, transforming it into something truly magical.

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 cups day-old bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 cups BAKERS Whipping Cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or your favorite chocolate, chopped)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Bread: Lightly toast the bread cubes in an oven or toaster until they are slightly crisp. This helps them absorb the custard without becoming soggy. Place the toasted bread cubes in a greased 8x8 inch baking dish.

  2. Make the Custard: In a large bowl, whisk together the BAKERS Whipping Cream, milk, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is well combined.

  3. Combine & Soak: Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread cubes in the baking dish. Gently press the bread down to ensure every piece is soaked. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top. Let the mixture sit for at least 20 minutes (or up to an hour) to allow the bread to fully absorb the liquid.

  4. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.

  5. Serve: Let the bread pudding cool for a few minutes before serving. It’s delicious on its own or topped with a dollop of extra whipped cream, a dusting of cocoa powder, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.

The smooth and rich texture from the BAKERS Whipping Cream makes all the difference. Enjoy!
