Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter a 1.5-quart baking dish or soufflé dish.
  2. Cut the white bread into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
  3. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine 2 cups of milk, the semisweet chocolate, sugar, and butter.
  4. Microwave on High for 9 minutes, stirring every 3 minutes, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  5. Stir in the bread cubes, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and the remaining 1 cup of milk. Ensure the bread is evenly coated.
  6. Lightly beat the eggs in a separate small bowl, then stir them into the bread and chocolate mixture.
  7. Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes to allow the bread to absorb some of the liquid.
  8. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  9. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden.
  10. Let cool slightly, then serve warm. Top with whipped cream and shaved chocolate if desired.
