Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding
- 8 ounces stale bread
- 4 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 2 cups half and half
- 2 tablespoons rum, optional
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Vanilla Cream Sauce
- 1 cup half and half
- 2 tablespoon cornstarch
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cut the stale bread into 1-inch cubes. Place bread in a large casserole dish.
In a large mixing bowl whisk together the eggs, butter, sugar, brown sugar, half and half, rum, vanilla extract and cinnamon.
Once thoroughly whisked, pour the mixture over the stale bread cubes. Gently stir the bread to coat the pieces with the custard.
Sprinkle with chocolate chips.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes or until the bread pudding is golden brown and the center is just slightly jiggly.
Vanilla Cream Sauce
When ready to serve bread pudding, make the cream sauce.
Add half and half and cornstarch to a saucepan. Whisk together without heating to dissolve the cornstarch.
Once dissolved, turn heat on to medium heat and add the sugar and vanilla extract.
Continue to whisk until mixture thickens, this should take 3-4 minutes.
Drizzle a small amount over the bread pudding, reserving the rest to serve with the dessert.
