Serving Size: 6

Cooking Time: 90 minutes

Ingredients

• 1.5 Cups (c) milk
• 2 Ounces (oz) unsweetened chocolate
• 0.75 Cups (c) white sugar
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) cinnamon, ground
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) nutmeg, ground
• 3 Cups (c) day-old bread cubes
• 0.5 Cups (c) walnuts, chopped
• 3 Large eggs, whisked
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a double boiler, heat the milk and unsweetened chocolate together until the chocolate is fully melted.
3. In a 10x16 inch oven baking bag, combine 0.25 cup of the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add the bread cubes and chopped walnuts, mixing well.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, remaining sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend this mixture with the melted chocolate mixture.
5. Place the baking bag in a 1-quart loaf pan and pour the chocolate mixture over the bread. Secure the bag with a twist tie and make six half-inch slits on top. Pour water into the pan so that it comes up the sides of the bag, ensuring it does not overflow.
6. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the pudding comes out clean. To serve, remove the pudding from the pan, cut the bag away from the top, and place it on a serving plate. Enjoy your spiced chocolate custard bread pudding warm!
