Serves 12 | Difficulty: Easy | Total Time: 2 hours

Gather Your Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups heavy cream
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 12 oz dark chocolate chips
• 2 large eggs, plus 2 yolks
• 2 cups milk
• Nonstick cooking spray
• Hot water
• 2 tbsp coffee or espresso
• 10 oz white chocolate chips
• 1 1-lb loaf cinnamon swirl bread
• 3/4 cup sugar

Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the Bread

Tear the cinnamon swirl bread into pieces and set them aside.

Step 2: Create the Chocolate Mixture

In a large saucepan, combine 1 cup cream, sugar, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it boils. Add the dark chocolate chips and let them sit for 5 minutes. Whisk the mixture until smooth, then set it aside.

Step 3: Mix the Egg Mixture

In a large bowl, mix the eggs, yolks, and milk until well combined. Whisk the dark chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until well blended.

Step 4: Assemble the Pudding

Pour the chocolate mixture over the bread pieces, then stir the mixture and press down on the bread with the back of a spoon to help it absorb the liquid. Let it sit for 30 to 45 minutes.

Step 5: Bake the Pudding

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Grease an 11×7 baking dish and pour the bread mixture into it. Place the baking dish into a 13×9 baking dish and fill the larger pan with enough hot water to reach 1 inch up the side. Bake for 1 hour, then remove from the oven. Let the pudding cool on a wire rack.

Step 6: Prepare the White Chocolate Sauce

Heat 3/4 cup cream and coffee until it just begins to boil. Remove from heat and add the white chocolate chips. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy!

Cut the bread pudding into pieces and pour the white chocolate sauce over the top. Serve warm and indulge in the rich, chocolatey goodness!
