Chocolate-Cherry Bread Pudding
Ingredients
- 1 (6 ounce) jar maraschino cherries ⓘ
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten ⓘ
- 3 cups chocolate milk (can make your own with preferred amount of chocolate) ⓘ
- 3/4 cup sugar ⓘ
- 3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine, melted ⓘ
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder ⓘ
- 6 cups cubed French bread (the size of dice)
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate morsel (6 oz) ⓘ
- Garnish ⓘ
- sweetened whipped cream
Instructions
- Drain the jar of cherries but reserve 1 TB of the cherry juice. Chop the cherries coarsely. The first time I made this I used a food processor and got them too fine. More chunky is definately better.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 TB of cherry juice, eggs and next 4 ingredients and stir will.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Add the bread cubes and let stand for 15 minutes on the counter, stirring occasionally. After 15 minutes, stir in the chocolate chips and cherries.
- Spoon this mixture into a greased 9 inch square pan (I used a bread pan with good results) and bake, uncovered for 50-60 minutes or until set.
- Garnish, if you want to, with whipped cream and maraschino cherries.
- Cook time includes 15 minutes soaking time for french bread cubes.
