1 cup pecan halves, toasted and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 ounces unsalted butter, cut into tiny bits
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 1/2 cups cream
6 eggs
2 egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

1/3 cup unsalted butter, cut into 6 pieces
1 cup Kahlua
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
3/4 cup whipping cream, whipped to soft peaks, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients for the pecan streusel and toss together with your fingertips until crumbly and evenly blended. Refrigerate until needed.
  • Butter an 8 x 13inch glass loaf pan and dredge it with sugar.
  • In the top of a double boiler, melt chocolate over simmering water. Add the brown sugar and cream, whisk until smooth and remove from heat. Cool for 10 minutes.

Add the bread cubes to the bowl, toss until they are evenly coated, and let sit in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. Pour into prepared loaf pan and place in a larger pan. Fill the larger pan with boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the loaf pan. Top with pecan streusel and bake for about 2 hours, until center feels slightly firm. While cooking, make the Kahlua sauce.
  • In the top of a double boiler, melt the butter and then add the Kahlua and sugar. Whisk until sugar is dissolved. Whisk 1 tablespoon of the Kahlua mixture into the egg to temper it, then return the whole mixture to the double boiler and cook, stirring constantly, over simmering water until slightly thickened. Strain into a warmed pitcher and cover with foil to keep warm.

Number Of Ingredients 18

Unsalted butter, for cups
3 cups heavy cream
2 cups whole milk
2 cinnamon sticks
2 dried hot red chiles, crumbled
1/2 vanilla bean, seeds scraped and reserved
6 ounces milk chocolate, finely chopped
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate (preferably at least 61 percent cacao), finely chopped
6 large egg yolks
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

3 tablespoons coarse raw sugar, such as turbinado
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
Ground cinnamon, for garnish
Chocolate curls, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place milk chocolate and bittersweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Return cream mixture to a simmer, then strain over chocolate, discarding solids. Gently stir until smooth.
