Chocolate Chunk Bread Pudding

Apr.posted by Paula 13 Comments

Jump to Recipe

Chocolate Chunk Bread Pudding is a classic bread pudding recipe, kicked up with chocolate chunks and rum sauce. This sweet treat is easy to make, and perfect for brunch, dessert, and potlucks!

Rich and creamy, this bread pudding has large chunks of chocolate. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. One bite and you’ll agree that this is the ultimate bread pudding recipe!

Did you run up the credit card bill?
Make Hubs this decadent, sinfully rich Chocolate Bread Pudding!! You know what they say… “Ask for forgiveness, not permission”!

Layers of bread, custard, and chocolate make for the perfect comfort food. Not overly sweet, Chocolate Chunk Bread Pudding has more of a cake-like texture than a moist, pudding-like consistency. I formulated this recipe just for the Hubs since I may, or may not, have run the credit card up…

Bread Pudding Recipe Notes

  1. This is a great way to use day-old bread. Crusty and dry bread will soak up the wonderful custard better.
  2. I suggest using dark chocolate for this recipe, but any chocolate will do. I used a dark bar, but you can also your chocolate chips.
  3. Allow at least 10 minutes for the bread to sit and soak in the custard.
  4. If you don’t like rum, a warm caramel sauce would also be tasty with this Chocolate Chunk Bread Pudding.
