CHOCOLATE BREAD PUDDING*
2 12-ounce cans evaporated milk
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
4 large eggs
1
⁄
cup sugar
4
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pound loaf day-old white or egg bread, crust removed, cut into
small cubes.
In a large microwave bowl or 4-cup glass measuring cup, combine the
evaporated milk and chocolate chips. Heat in a microwave on high
power 2 to 3 minutes, or until it just begins to simmer. Stir together
well. Whisk in the eggs, vanilla, and sugar. Lightly butter the slow cook-
er stoneware liner. Place the bread cubes in the bottom, scattering
evenly. Pour the chocolate mixture over the bread. Let set for 15 min-
utes, pressing down on the bread so that it absorbs the liquid. Cover
and cook on high for 4 hours. Serve warm with whipped cream, if
desired.
