Recipe

Ingredients:

1 3/4 cups whipping cream

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons

sugar

1/4 cup whole milk

1 1/4 cups semisweet

chocolate chips

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

4 ounces French bread with crust, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 4 cups)

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 325°F. Bring cream, 1/2 cup sugar, and milk to simmer in heavy medium saucepan, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat. Add 1 cup chocolate chips and whisk until melted and smooth. Whisk egg and vanilla in large bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in hot chocolate mixture. Cool chocolate custard 10 minutes, stirring often.

Add bread cubes and remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips to custard and toss to coat. Transfer to 1 1/2-quart-capacity shallow oval baking dish. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons sugar over mixture. Bake until custard thickens and center is just set, about 50 minutes. Serve warm.
