Delightfully yummy and tasty! 🍫🍞🍮

Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding

Ingredients
- 12 egg yolks
- 1 French baguette
- 3 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 11.5 oz bag of semi sweet chocolate morsels
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Preparation

Heat the cream and one cup of sugar on the stove top in a saucepan over medium heat until it comes to a simmer and the sugar is melted. Make sure to stir constantly.

In a separate bowl mix the egg yolks and the rest of the sugar. When the cream mixture has come to a simmer add the mixture to the egg yolks.

Be sure to temper the egg yolks. This means, add small amounts of the hot cream mixture a little at a time to the yolks so that the eggs will not cook and will become a smooth liquid. You do not want cooked egg yellows in the bread pudding.

Add the vanilla.

Cube the bread into inch cubes. In a bowl mix the bread and the cream.

Add as much of the cream as you would like.

For a dryer bread pudding add less and vice versa.

Mix in the chocolate and put in a baking pan and bake for 40 minutes covered and then for 10-15 minutes uncovered at 350F degrees.
