Chocolate Bread Pudding with Butterscotch Sauce
2 cups milk
6 slices bread, cubed (I use 8 slices of normal white, 6 of a French loaf)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
2egg yolks, slightly beaten
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 egg whites, stiffly beaten
1 cup grated sweet chocolate
Scald milk. Remove from heat; add sugar, cocoa, and egg yolks. Beat until well blended. Add butter and vanilla. Fold in bread and let sit to soak up liquid for 15-30 minutes, stirring 3-5 times. Fold in beaten egg whites and grated chocolate. Pour into 8-inch square baking dish; set dish in a pan with about 1-inch of hot water. Bake at 350° for 40 minutes, or until firm.
Top with whipped cream and warm butterscotch sauce.
Butterscotch Sauce
1 pound light brown sugar
1 cup butter
1 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons corn syrup
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Serve warm.
**Picture was a pudding ready to give a friend. Because I didn't want her to worry about a pan, I greased a 8 inch spring form pan and placed parchment paper in the bottom and greased the parchment paper. Before putting it in the water bath, I put foil underneath and up around the sides to prevent water from getting into the pudding.
