2. Prepare the Sugar Syrup: In a separate pan, combine the white sugar and corn syrup over low heat. Stir continuously for about 2 minutes or until the sugar is completely dissolved into a syrupy consistency.

3. Combine Chocolate and Sugar Syrup: Add the melted chocolate to the sugar syrup mixture, ensuring thorough incorporation. Mix well until you achieve a harmonious blend of flavors.

4. Beat the Eggs: In a large bowl, beat the 6 eggs until they are well combined and slightly frothy. Slowly pour the chocolate and sugar syrup mixture into the beaten eggs, whisking continuously to prevent curdling.

5. Scald the Milk: In yet another pan, bring the milk to a gentle boil until it becomes frothy. Once frothy, remove the pan from the heat and set aside.

6. Prepare the Bread: Break the bread into small pieces and place them evenly in a large oven-safe dish.

7. Assemble the Pudding: Pour the scalded milk over the bread pieces, ensuring they are evenly soaked. Next, add the chocolate and egg mixture to the dish, distributing it evenly to coat the bread thoroughly.

8. Bake the Pudding: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the chocolate bread pudding for 45-50 minutes, or until it is set and golden brown on top.

9. Ensure Moisture: To prevent the pudding from drying out, remember to gently mix it every now and then during the baking process.

10. Serve and Enjoy: Once baked to perfection, remove the pudding from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, garnished with a dollop of freshly whipped cream for a decadent finish.

Tips:

• For an extra indulgent touch, consider adding a sprinkle of chocolate shavings or a drizzle of chocolate sauce before serving.
• Experiment with different types of bread for unique flavor variations. Challah or brioche breads work particularly well for a richer texture.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.

This Chocolate Bread Pudding recipe is a timeless classic that’s sure to evoke fond memories and create new traditions with every delicious bite. Enjoy the warmth and comfort it brings to your table! 🍫🍞✨
