Description

Indulge in the luxurious comfort of this White Chocolate Bread Pudding, a decadent twist on the classic dessert. By combining day-old French bread with a velvety custard made from heavy cream, milk, and melted white chocolate, this recipe creates a dessert that is both elegant and deeply satisfying. The white chocolate adds a smooth, sweet richness that complements the eggy custard perfectly, while the bread soaks up every drop of flavor, resulting in a tender, moist texture. Ideal for holiday gatherings or a cozy weekend treat, this pudding is simple to assemble yet impressive to serve. It pairs beautifully with a dusting of powdered sugar or a side of fresh berries to cut through the sweetness.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC). Grease a large baking dish or casserole dish.
  2. Cut the French bread into 1-inch cubes and arrange them in the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a large saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, and sugar over medium heat.
  4. Heat the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it is hot but not boiling.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the broken white chocolate pieces.
  6. Stir gently until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  7. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the whole eggs and egg yolks until well combined.
  8. Gradually pour the warm chocolate cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
  9. Pour the custard evenly over the bread cubes in the baking dish, ensuring all pieces are soaked.
  10. Let the bread soak for 15-20 minutes to absorb the custard.
  11. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
  12. Allow the pudding to cool for 10 minutes before serving warm.

Note

For best texture, use day-old or slightly stale French bread as it absorbs the custard better without becoming mushy.

You can substitute milk with half-and-half for a lighter version, though the texture will be less rich.

Garnish with a drizzle of dark chocolate sauce or a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warm.
