Description
Chocolate Pecan Pie Bread Pudding is a delicious dessert that combines the rich flavors of chocolate and pecans with a comforting bread pudding texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 cups day-old bread, cubed (such as French or challah)
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup maple syrup (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the cubed bread, chopped pecans, and chocolate chips. Set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Pour the wet mixture over the bread mixture, gently folding to coat the bread evenly. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the liquid.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
- Drizzle with maple syrup if desired, and serve warm.
