I got this recipe from a Spice Island Recipe card that was tucked in a womans magazine years ago. I have been making it for years and have always got rave reviews. Old fashioned white bread works best but you can use any type of white bread. Ingredients:
3 cups whole milk, divided |
4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate baking squares |
3/4 cup sugar |
1/4 cup butter |
5 cups white bread, cubed |
2 teaspoons vanilla |
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon |
3 eggs, lightly beaten |
Directions:
1. For custard combine 2 c milk, chocolate, sugar and butter in a large bowl. Microwave on High for 9 minutes, stirring every 3 minutes, or until chocolate is melted.
2. Stir bread cubes, vanilla, cinnamon and remaining milk into hot mixture. Stir in eggs. Let stand 5 minutes.
3. Stir and pour into buttered 1 1/2 quart baking dish. Bake at 350 for 45-55 minutes or until table knife inserted into center comes out clean.
4. Serve warm. May be topped with whipped cream and shaved chocolate for an elegant presentation.
