Chocolate Bread Pudding Lowfat recipe image

This decadent yet lighter chocolate bread pudding transforms stale French bread into a warm, comforting dessert. By using egg substitute and low-fat milk, you get the classic custardy texture without the heavy guilt. The deep flavor of Dutch-process cocoa combines with a hint of honey and vanilla for a rich, aromatic treat. It’s perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner or a potluck contribution where you want something impressive but simple. The bread absorbs the chocolate custard mixture, creating a moist interior with a slightly set top. Serve it warm for the best experience, perhaps with a dollop of fat-free whipped topping if desired.

Description

This decadent yet lighter chocolate bread pudding transforms stale French bread into a warm, comforting dessert. By using egg substitute and low-fat milk, you get the classic custardy texture without the heavy guilt. The deep flavor of Dutch-process cocoa combines with a hint of honey and vanilla for a rich, aromatic treat. It&# 226;ÂÂs perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner or a potluck contribution where you want something impressive but simple. The bread absorbs the chocolate custard mixture, creating a moist interior with a slightly set top. Serve it warm for the best experience, perhaps with a dollop of fat-free whipped topping if desired.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  2. Arrange the French bread slices, slightly overlapping and staggered, in a 12- to 14-inch oval gratin dish or baking pan.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg substitute, low-fat milk, honey, vanilla extract, brandy or Kahlua, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  4. Pour the chocolate custard mixture evenly over the bread slices, ensuring all bread is soaked.
  5. Let the dish stand for 15-20 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 60 minutes, or until the pudding is set and barely firm in the center.
  7. Allow to cool slightly before serving warm.
