Indulgent Winter Dessert: Spiced Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding

Spiced Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding

Today, I’m excited to share a cozy dessert that’s perfect for chilly winter evenings. This spiced chocolate chip bread pudding is a comforting treat that warms both the body and soul. The rich flavors of chocolate and warming spices create a delightful combination that is sure to please the whole family.

Ingredients:

• stale bread (300g)
• milk (500ml)
• eggs (4)
• sugar (150g)
• cinnamon (1 tsp)
• nutmeg (1/2 tsp)
• vanilla extract (1 tsp)
• chocolate chips (150g)

Kitchen Tools:

• mixing bowl
• whisk
• baking dish
• oven

I start by tearing the stale bread into bite-sized pieces and placing them in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, I whisk together the milk, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract until well combined. I then pour this mixture over the bread, making sure all the pieces are coated. Next, I gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

I preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a baking dish. I pour the bread pudding mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly. I bake the pudding for about 40-45 minutes, or until it is set and golden brown on top.

Once the pudding is done baking, I remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. The warm, comforting aroma of chocolate and spices fills the kitchen, making everyone eagerly anticipate digging in. This spiced chocolate chip bread pudding is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

One clever tip for this recipe is to let the bread soak in the milk mixture for at least 30 minutes before baking. This allows the flavors to meld together and ensures a moist and delicious pudding.

I hope you give this spiced chocolate chip bread pudding a try and enjoy it as much as my family does. Feel free to experiment with different spices or mix-ins to make it your own. Happy baking!
