Chefs Tip

More a kin to custard than a typical bread pudding, this version is rich and creamy with a hint of cinnamon. It’s a great dish for showing off premium-quality chocolate-semi-sweet, or bittersweet, depending on your personal preference.

This sauce is great over many desserts, such as ice cream, and chocolate cake.
