Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is ideal.
  • If you don't have stale bread, you can toast fresh bread in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes, or until it is dry and slightly crispy.
  • Be sure to whisk the eggs and milk together until they are well combined. This will help to prevent the eggs from curdling when they are added to the hot chocolate mixture.
  • Don't overcook the bread pudding. It should be set in the center, but still slightly wobbly.
  • Serve the bread pudding warm with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.
