Ingredients
- 6 cups Egg Bread such as challah, with or without crust, cubed
- 2 c. milk whole
- 1 c. semisweet chocolate coarsely chopped
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 egg
- 1/2 c. white sugar
- 2 Tbsp. almonds sliced
Instructions
- Toast the egg bread cubes by placing them in a single layer on a baking sheet and putting them in a 325°F (163°C) oven for five minutes.
- Heat the milk in a saucepan over medium heat for 5 minutes, or until bubbles form around the edges. Turn the heat down to low, then add the chocolate and cinnamon. Whisk constantly until the chocolate melts, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 5-10 minutes, until just warm.
- Meanwhile, beat the eggs and sugar together in a large bowl until creamy and light (about 3 minutes). Drizzle in the chocolate mixture and mix well. Add the bread cubes and toss to coat. Let stand for 30 minutes so the bread can soak up the liquid.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Transfer the bread mixture to a buttered casserole dish and cover with foil. Set the casserole dish on a large, rimmed, deep baking pan. Place the baking pan in the oven, then pour enough hot water into the baking sheet to come halfway up the sides of the casserole dish. Bake for 15 minutes, then uncover and cook for another 20 minutes until the pudding feels firm to the touch. Garnish with almond slices and serve warm.
Notes
- To store Capirotada - Chocolate Bread Pudding, cover it tightly and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To freeze it, wrap it in plastic wrap and foil for up to 2 months; wrap it in plastic wrap and foil before freezing.
- To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator if frozen, then warm in a 350°F (177°C) oven for 15-20 minutes until heated through. Alternatively, microwave individual portions for 1-2 minutes until warm.
