I like Brownie Pudding,(I enjoyed Cindy Lynn's recipe for it) so i thought this sounded good.(Haven't actually made it.) I have had this recipe for quite some time and forget where i got it.

Provided by Rhonda J

Categories     Dessert

Time 45m

Yield 1 8inch round cake pan, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 tablespoon instant coffee
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butterscotch chips
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup hot water
whipped cream, if desired

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Grease an 8 inh round cake pan.
  • In medium bowl,thoroughly blend the flour, 1/2 cup of the brown sugar, 1/4 cup of the cocoa,coffee, baking powder and salt.
  • Stir in the butterscotch chips.
  • In small bowl, blend the milk, oil, and vanilla.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until blended.

  • Bake for 35-40 minutes until the top looks cake like.
  • Serve with whipped cream if desired.
  • *Canuse other kinds of baking chips for variation,milk chocolate,peanut butter,mint etc.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality bread. A sturdy bread like French bread or sourdough will hold up well in the bread pudding and give it a nice texture.
  • Don't over soak the bread. The bread should be just slightly softened, not soggy. If you over soak the bread, it will become mushy and the bread pudding will be too soft.
  • Use a variety of chocolates. Different types of chocolate will give the bread pudding a more complex flavor. You can use dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or even white chocolate.
  • Don't skimp on the butter. The butter adds richness and flavor to the bread pudding. Don't try to substitute margarine or oil, as they will not give you the same results.
  • Serve the bread pudding warm. Bread pudding is best served warm, right out of the oven. You can also serve it cold, but it will be less flavorful.

Conclusion:

Chocolate and butterscotch bread pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. It's perfect for a special occasion or a simple weeknight treat. With its rich chocolate flavor and gooey butterscotch filling, this bread pudding is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
