Ingredients

Servings

• 6 slice Bread
• 2 cup Milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• ¹⁄₂ cup Sugar
• 2 tablespoon Cocoa powder
• 2 Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• ¹⁄₂ cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• ¹⁄₂ cup Pecans
• 2 tablespoon Bourbon
• 2 tablespoon Butter

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish.
2. Cut the bread into cubes and place them in the greased baking dish.
3. In a saucepan, heat the milk, heavy cream, sugar, and cocoa powder over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is hot.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract. Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the eggs while whisking continuously.
5. Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes in the baking dish. Press the bread down to ensure it is soaked in the custard.
6. Sprinkle the chocolate chips and pecans over the top of the bread pudding.
7. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the top is golden brown.
8. While the bread pudding is baking, prepare the bourbon pecan sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the pecans and cook for 2-3 minutes, until toasted. Stir in the bourbon and cook for another minute.
9. Serve the warm bread pudding with the bourbon pecan sauce drizzled on top. Enjoy!
