Directions
Bread Pudding:
Step 1:
Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC). In buttered 8" (2 L) square baking dish, combine bread cubes and chocolate chips.
Step 2:
In large bowl, beat eggs. Beat in sugar and butter until combined. Whisk in evaporated milk and vanilla; pour over bread and chocolate chips. Press bread down gently to soak with the milk mixture.
Step 3:
Bake in preheated oven about 40 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.
Chocolate Sauce:
Step 4:
In saucepan, heat together evaporated milk and corn syrup over medium heat until bubbles form at edge of pan, about 8 minutes. Place chocolate chips in heatproof bowl; pour in milk mixture and let stand 4 minutes. Stir to melt chocolate. Serve pudding warm with chocolate sauce.
Tips
Assembled pudding can be covered and refrigerated for several hours or overnight before baking, as preferred. Add an extra 8–10 minutes bake time to allow for cold dish.
Sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated or even frozen. Thaw and reheat when ready to serve.
