Step 6:
Mocha Bread Pudding:
I intentionally made this so it’s not very sweet, but it is rich and has a very unique mocha flavor. I was really happy with the way it turned out. You’ll need something else to go with this, either ice cream, whipped cream, caramel sauce, etc. I used Lindt bittersweet chocolate, but it had been a while since I had Lindt and I wasn’t terribly happy with it, which was disappointing. I would recommend Valrhona, Scharffenberger, Ghirardelli, or my absolute favorite, Chocovic Ocumare Single Origin Dark Chocolate from Venezuala (often found at Trader Joe’s).
Ingredients:
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 1/4 cup whole milk
1/3 cup coarse coffee grounds
3 oz bittersweet or dark chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup sugar plus 2 TB sugar
2 TB butter
1 large loaf soft, day-old French bread
Step 7:
Cut up your bread loaf into 1 inch pieces. Grease a 8”x8” pan baking pan. Throw the bread pieces in.
