Bread pudding is an amazingly adaptable blend of milk, cream, eggs, and, yes, bread. It's a savory or sweet dish that can be eaten for breakfast or dessert.
This method amps up the chocolate taste by including both cocoa powder and chocolate chips. Melted chocolate drizzled over the top of the bread pudding after it bakes adds an additional unique touch. The outcome is creamy, gooey, and really delicious.

Ingredients
- 2 oz semi-sweet chocolate
- 1/2 cup cream, half-and-half
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup nonfat milk
- 1 large egg

Preparations:
- Melt chocolate in a small microwave-safe dish, stirring until smooth. Set aside after stirring in the cream.
