If you’re craving a new variation of bread pudding for the holidays (or this weekend’s brunch), we’ve got you covered. This sweet, gooey, delicious dish is a new favorite slow cooker treat.
Slow Cooker Dark Chocolate Bread Pudding
Ingredients:
8 cups French bread, cubed
1 cup dark chocolate chips
3/4 cup caramel bits
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
4 large eggs
1/2 cup strong coffee
1 cup half-n-half
1/2 cup milk
2 tsp vanilla
Optional toppings: whipped cream, ice cream
Instructions:
Place 8 cups of bread cubes into a lightly greased 4- to 5- quart crock pot. Top with chocolate chips, caramel bits, and chopped pecans.
In a mixing bowl, stir together granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cocoa powder. Add four slightly beaten eggs, vanilla, strong coffee, half and half, and milk. Mix well - until completely blended.
Slowly pour the mixture over the cubed bread. Stir gently until most of the liquid has been absorbed.
Cook on Low for 3-4 hours, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.
CHEERS!
