Warm flavors of chocolate and whiskey mingle for a bread pudding that pairs perfectly with cold weather. Ingredients:
1/4 cup unsalted butter |
7 cups french bread cubes |
2 cups whipping cream |
1 cup milk |
8 (1-ounce) bittersweet chocolate squares, chopped |
5 egg yolks, lightly beaten |
2/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
whiskey sauce |
garnish: chocolate shavings |
Directions:
1. Melt butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add bread cubes, and cook, stirring constantly, 3 minutes or until golden. Transfer to a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish.
2. Bring whipping cream and milk to a boil over medium heat in skillet. Remove from heat, and whisk in chocolate until smooth. Whisk in egg yolks, brown sugar, and vanilla. Pour over bread cubes; let stand 30 minutes. Cover with foil; cut 6 small holes in foil to allow steam to escape.
3. Place baking dish in a roasting pan. Add hot water to pan to a depth of 1 1/2 inches.
