Chocolate Raspberry Bread Pudding Recipes

Steps:

• Place bread cubes in a large bowl; set aside. In a small saucepan, combine the milk, half-and-half, 3/4 cup sugar and cocoa. Bring to a gentle boil. Remove from the heat. Stir in bittersweet chocolate until melted., Stir a small amount of hot milk mixture into egg substitute; return all to the pan. Stir in vanilla. Pour mixture over bread cubes. Let stand for 5 minutes. Place half of bread mixture in an 11x7-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and half of raspberries. Top with remaining bread mixture., Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30-40 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving., For sauce, place the remaining raspberries in a food processor; add lemon juice and remaining sugar. Cover and process for 2-3 minutes or until blended. Strain and discard seeds and pulp. Serve with pudding. Refrigerate leftovers.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray bottom and sides of 8-inch square (2-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. In large bowl, place bread, 1 cup raspberries and chocolate chips.
• In medium bowl, mix milk, egg product, brown sugar and vanilla with wire whisk or fork until blended. Pour egg mixture over bread mixture; stir gently until bread is coated. Spread in baking dish.
• Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until golden brown and set.
• Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, mix granulated sugar and cornstarch. Stir in water and thawed raspberries. Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly and pressing raspberries to release juice. Boil about 1 minute or until thick. Place small strainer over small bowl. Pour mixture through strainer to remove seeds; discard seeds. Serve sauce with warm bread pudding.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 3-quart casserole with cooking spray.
• In medium bowl, beat eggs, milk, cream, vanilla, sugar and salt with whisk until well mixed. Add bread; press into egg mixture until evenly absorbed. Stir in raspberries and baking chips. Pour into casserole.
• Bake covered 30 minutes; uncover and bake 10 to 20 minutes longer or until golden brown and set.

Steps:

• In a greased 3-qt. slow cooker, layer half of the bread cubes, chocolate chips and raspberries. Repeat layers. In a bowl, whisk the eggs, cream, milk, sugar and vanilla. Pour over bread mixture., Cover and cook on high until a thermometer reads 160°, 2-1/4 to 2-1/2 hours . Let stand for 5-10 minutes. If desired, serve with whipped cream and additional raspberries.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In large bowl combine milk, sugar, egg and vanilla extract.
• Add bread squares to the cream mixture. Mix until all of the bread cubes are well coated.
• Let sit for 15 minutes so the bread can soak up the cream mixture. Stir every five minutes.
• Mix in raspberries and chocolate chips.
• Pour mix into a greased, round "souffle" baking dish.
• Place in the oven and bake for 1 hour.
• Remove bread pudding from oven and cool for 10-15 minutes.
• While bread pudding is cooling, prepare raspberry sauce.
• Heat raspberries and sugar until sugar dissolves.
• Add brandy and lemon juice.
• Cook until thickened.
• Serve bread pudding warm with raspberry sauce.

Steps:

• Add the milk and egg yolk to a measuring cup. Whisk to combine.
• Add 5 tablespoons sugar, the cocoa powder, cornstarch and salt to a medium saucepan, and whisk to combine, breaking up any lumps. Whisk the milk and egg yolk mixture into the sugar mixture until smooth.
• Set the pan over medium-low heat and cook the mixture until it thickens and starts to bubble, stirring the mixture constantly with a rubber spatula and making sure to scrape the corners and bottom of the pan. Once it bubbles, cook for an additional minute until thick and creamy, taking extra care to scrape the bottom and sides of the pan to avoid scorching the mixture, 6 to 8 minutes total. If you do get a few small lumps, whisk the mixture vigorously for a few seconds to smooth them. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
• Spoon the pudding into two small serving bowls or glasses, and press a piece of plastic wrap on the surface of each pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Chill for at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.
• When you are ready to serve the pudding, make the raspberry cream: Combine 1/2 teaspoon sugar with about 4 raspberries in a small bowl. Mash them together with a fork and macerate. In a medium bowl, whisk the cream with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla to medium peaks. Dollop the mashed raspberries over the top of the whipped cream and fold a few times. (The mixture should be streaky.)
• Top the pudding with the remaining raspberries and a dollop of the whipped cream. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. and generously butter a 9- by 2-inch round cake pan.
• Make frosting:
• Chop chocolate. In a small heavy saucepan bring jam, cream, and chocolate to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Pour frosting into cake pan.
• Make cake batter:
• In a bowl whisk together boiling water and cocoa powder until smooth and whisk in milk, vanilla, and jam. In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat together butter and sugars until light and fluffy and add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Into another bowl sift together flour, baking soda, and salt and add to egg mixture in batches alternately with cocoa mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture and beating well after each addition.
• Pour batter evenly over frosting mixture and bake in middle of oven 30 to 35 minutes, or until a tester inserted into cake comes out clean (frosting on bottom will still be liquid). Cool cake slightly in pan on a rack, 10 to 20 minutes. Cake may be made 1 day ahead, cooled completely in pan and left in pan, covered, at room temperature. Reheat cake, uncovered, at 350°F. 10 to 15 minutes.
• Run a thin knife around edge of pan and twist pan gently back and forth on a flat surface to loosen cake. Invert a cake plate with a slight lip over cake pan and, holding pan and plate together with both hands, invert cake onto plate. Frosting will cover cake and run onto plate.
• Serve cake garnished with raspberries.

Steps:

• Bread pudding:.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Butter a 9"X12"X2" baking pan including the sides. Line bottom of pan with parchment paper.
• Combine cream, sugar, milk in saucepan over medium heat. Stir until hot. Add chocolate morsels and stir until chocolate is melted. Set aside so it can cool slightly.
• Whisk eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla. Gradually pour the cream mixture into the egg mixture and whisk until smooth. Be careful that the cream mixture isn't too hot or the eggs will curdle. Tempering the eggs is very useful in this step.
• Lay about half of the bread slices in the baking pan and pour about half of the cream mixture, allowing it to soak up the liquid. Next, layer the remaining bread slices on top and pour more mixture over it. You might need to press down the bread on top to let it soak up some of that liquid. Be careful that you don't layer too much, since it does rise quite a bit in the oven. I usually stop layering once it hits right at the top of the pan.
• Cover the pan with foil and bake for 1 hour. While it's baking, this is a good time to get started on those sauces!
• After that 1st hour, remove the foil and bake uncovered until it's no longer liquid in the center and the top should be golden brown.
• Raspberry Sauce:.
• Combine water, sugar, and orange zest in a sauce pan over medium heat. Stir until syrupy.
• Add raspberries and cook on low heat stirring occasionally until the fruit falls apart. Strain out the seeds.
• White Chocolate Sauce:.
• Heat heavy cream in saucepan over medium heat until hot.
• Stir in white chocolate morsels until melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Prepping the Bread Pudding:.
• By individual slices, place a slice(s) on a cookie sheet and brush each piece with the melted sweet cream butter, including the sides (don't worry about the bottom of the slice).
• Bake in oven for about 12-15 minutes. This will create a crisp "seared" outside which is very delicious.
• Once the bread pudding is ready, by individual slices, place on a serving plate and drizzle with the white chocolate sauce and droplets of raspberry sauce. Enjoy!
